About Photo

I discovered that the photo of my grandfather, that I posted yesterday, he was wearing a captain's uniform. Which I found interesting because he must have been promoted to the temporary rank of captain since he wasn't given the permanent rank until near the end of the war.

I have the answer: in this communication he was given the temporary rank of Captain in June 1916 when he was acting Adjutant of the AA batteries. His permanent rank was Lieutenant until he received his permanent Captain's rand in 1919.
