Sgt. Sydney Cohen

British Army 6th Btn. Manchester Regiment

from:Manchester

Our grandfather, Sydney Cohen (1893-1951) was born in Manchester. He volunteered for the British Army in February 1916 and served in the 6th Battalion of the Manchester Regiment. He also served in the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment, and finally he was a sergeant in the 39th Battalion, Royal Fusiliers. He took part in the fighting in France and in the Palestine campaign of 1917-18. He remained on active service until 1920 and served as an army PT instructor.

Sydney Cohen is 7th from left on back row. Does anyone recognize any of the other soldiers and know where the picture was taken?
