This photograph was taken during the week
that William Angus VC returned to his home town.
Standing alongside him is Sergeant Major
George Caven of the HLI.
It was Sgt Major Caven who carried out the local recruiting drive
during which both William Angus and James Martin enlisted.
He was returned from the front to join
the official party welcoming home the man who had become his
most celebrated recruit.
At the end of the week's celebrations, Sgt
Major Caven returned to France, and within days had been killed in
action.
