Comments:
The officer on the left must be Lieutenant William Henry Langdon Burgess, who joined the 1st Battalion from the 3rd Special Reserve Battalion. He isn’t mentioned in the War Diary until his death on 20th July 1916 when his rank was that of Captain. We do not have any other photographs of Burgess but I'm pretty sure this must be the man.
