Excellent...I knew you guys would nail it. 93Mouse, thanks for the photo and Kuduae - yes those were the pictures that I was looking for. Old Walter Bell didn't take a half bad photo. To see how young he looked in the military portrait (although he was probably 35?) just brings home that when he was doing all the elephant work before WW1 that we know him for, he was just a young guy...I keep forgetting that he was awarded 2 VC's.
"I keep forgetting that he was awarded 2 VC's. "
Are you sure about this ?
Only 3 Dual winners of the VC exist and he isn't one of them.
Also, where did he win his VC ????
I don't think he won even one.
