Editor's Comment:
Note the 'T' below collar badges, signifying 'Territorial Force', also the private purchase 'Gor'blimey' cap, with flaps (here buckled up) to protect the ears and neck from cold. The meddal ribbons are those of the Queens and Kings South Africa Medal.

Lieutenant (acting Major) Frederick George Peter Gedge, Distinguished Service Order, served with the 1st London Divisional Engineers.
