This photo is from a Mrs Earle of Paignton, a lady who had the distinction of being one of Britain's first female zoo keepers. It belonged to her father who was in the territorial battalion of the Duke of Wellington's Regiment. He served every day of WWI and survived, and then, being by that time a reserve officer, every day of WWII. This is the battalion marching down North Road past the, now closed, Station Hotel. with thanks to Chris Smith
