I have had versions of this image in the past as a digital copy, but until today never had an original from the WW1. This photo is special to me as my grandfather, Avery William George Wingrove is there circled in blue, and my great grandfather, Petty Officer Albert Edward Wingrove is circled in green. Fleet Surgeon Edward Sutton, seated 4th from the left, second row, was due to transfer to the HMS Malaya. ( A transfer that was cancelled and he stayed with the Plassy. )
