Photographs of Robert Glyndon Coode, including one of the Liberation Parade of Lille (3)

My maternal grandfather who served in France from 1914-1918. It shows his wedding on leave in 1915 to Gwladys Phoebe Kirkham in Swansea. Postcards he sent from France and a photograph of his daughter Gwladys Betty (born in June 1918), sent by her godmother Liz Kirkham to her brother-in-law at the Front. Includes a picture from Glyn of his regiment marching through Lille in 1918 after the liberation of the city.

我的外祖父于1914至1918年间在法国服役。内容包括他1915年休假期间在斯旺西与格莱迪丝·菲比·柯克汉姆（Gwladys Phoebe Kirkham）的婚礼记录；他从法国寄回的明信片；以及他女儿格莱迪丝·贝蒂（Gwladys Betty，1918年6月出生）的照片——这张照片由孩子的教母莉兹·柯克汉姆（Liz Kirkham）寄给了前线的妹夫（或姐夫）。此外还包含一张格林（Glyn）拍摄的照片：1918年里尔市解放后，他所在的团在里尔街头行进的场景。

编辑评论：
罗伯特·库德（Robert Coode）的两幅肖像照，照片中他佩戴着伦敦军团第8营（邮政步枪营，Post Office Rifles）的帽徽；婚礼照片上还可见其军士肩章上方的交叉步枪标志，表明他曾担任一段时间的步枪射击教官。另有一张身着体操服、衬衫上别着编号的士兵群像；一张邮政步枪营士兵的合影——他们身着1914式步兵装备，手持SMLE步枪（SMLE rifles）；以及一张里尔解放的照片：团乐队成员头戴头盔演奏，一名宪兵（Military Policeman）在旁注视，其后是正在行进的一个营。
