Framed WW1 Era Breconshire Constabulary Roll of Honour

Here is what must be a unique item, it is a well framed and glazed series of photographs of the men from the Breconshire constabulary who served in WW1 including their senior officer Lieutenant-Colonel Claud George Cole-Hamilton and I include a brief biography for the Colonel below. There are 22 small photo’s of the men five of who were casualties, these include: Lance Corporal William Davies of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers who came from Talybont-on-usk, Bomber Thomas Pitman RGA, Pte E. Hatcher of the Welsh Guards, Gunner Charles Martin RGA and Corporal A. Griffiths of the Welsh Guards. There are two MM winners and various regiments represented. The piece comes in very good condition for its age, the photo’s are a little faded but still perfectly legible, the frame measures 24 inches x just under 20.
Lieutenant-Colonel Claud George Cole-Hamilton (1869–1957), DSO (1902), was a distinguished British Army officer in the Royal Irish Rifles and Chief Constable of Breconshire (1912–1947). He served in the Boer War and WWI, where he was wounded, gassed, and held as a POW in 1918. He was awarded the CMG in 1917 and a DSO bar in 1919
