    I discovered a link with an image of a Captain Farquharson KRR Corps. I also have him in the diary I am tagging - He signs orders for 99th Infantry Brigade which includes the King's Royal Rifle Corps - My diary Link:- http://www.operationwardiary.org/#/classify/52d056903ae74026a303afd8
    I think it is him. Link with images: - https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=captain+Farquharson+KRR+Corps&start=10

    I missed the original question, I'm afraid. The images seem to show an officer from the Royal Scots. Is that the same man, Marie?

    Ral, Just to clarify the message I posted regarding Sarah’s question on this diary page link: http://talk.operationwardiary.org/#/subjects/AWD00034gl (“still can't read the C.O.'s name -- Firkinchankan??”). I think the signature is Captain Farquharson KRR Corps. I had him in the diary I am tagging - He signs orders for 99th Infantry Brigade of which I believe includes the KRR Corps.
    The correct Link for the Images of Captain Farquharson KRR Corps: https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=captain+Farquharson+KRR+Corps&start=20 The one I gave you was incorrect as you noticed. I think this is the same man because image mentions KRR Corps. I did have the link for Order in my diary that Captain Farquharson signed on behalf of the 99th Infantry Brigade, but I cannot find the link now – too far back in my diary. Hope you and Sarah can understand this now.

    Thanks, Marie. I'm impressed you could make anything out of the signature - I still can't!
