Photographs of Robert Glyndon Coode, including one of the Liberation Parade of Lille (6)

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.

本数据集收录了我的外祖父的相关史料——他于1914年至1918年间在法国服役。其中包含他1915年休假期间于斯旺西与格莱迪丝·菲比·柯卡姆（Gwladys Phoebe Kirkham）成婚的影像资料，他从法国寄回的明信片，以及其女儿格莱迪丝·贝蒂（1918年6月出生）的照片——该照片由格莱迪丝·贝蒂的教母莉兹·柯卡姆寄往前线，收信人为其姐夫。此外还包含一张来自格林的照片，记录了他所在的部队在1918年里尔解放后列队开进该市的场景。

两张罗伯特·库德（Robert Coode）的肖像照，其佩戴有伦敦团第8营（邮政来福枪团(Post Office Rifles)）的帽徽；在这张成婚照片中，还可看到中士军衔条纹上方的交叉步枪标识，这表明他曾短暂担任射击教官。
