Charles Cox in the Band of the 1/7th Duke of Wellingting Regiment Huddersfield 1913.

I have a photo of my Grandad's Brother Charles Cox, taken in 1913 in Huddersfield. On the rear of the photo, my Grandad has written, "Brother Charles, taken in Huddersfield 1913. Band of the 1/7th D.W. Regiment". I'm currently researching my family history, if anyone can provide any further details, I'd be very grateful

Research Notes: Charles Cox, born in Harston, Cambridge. Lived in Yorkshire. Killed in action 5th August 1916 in France / Flanders. He was most likely serving as part of 147th Brigade and killed at the Battle of the Somme which commenced July 1916. Band members traditionally act as stretcher bearers on the battlefield.
