The cap badges indicate that these soldiers are likely to have been from the 'Leeds Pals' - part of the West Yorkshire Regiment. The West Yorkshire Regiment raised 35 Battalions, two of which - the 15th and 16th battalions - were stationed in Ripon in the early years of the First World War. The 16th Service Battalion ( 1st Bradford ) came to Ripon in January 1915, with the 15th Service Battalion ( 1st Leeds ) joining them in June 1915. Both Battalions moved from Ripon in late August 1915 for further training on Salisbury Plain before being despatched to Egypt, and from there to France in 1916.
We use a high resolution 50 mega pixel Canon camera, mounted on a Guardian stand, which allows us to capture A0 plans comfortably without losing any clarity or definition. Plans larger than A0 are digitally stitched using Adobe Photoshop by experienced reprographic staff. Images are captured at a minimum resolution of 300dpi as TIFFS using Phase One capture software.
Paper copies at A4 and A3 size are printed on 120gsm high quality matt paper using good quality printing ink.
Paper copies larger than A3 (A2 up to A0) are printed on 170gsm high quality matt coated paper, using UV inks which do not fade or lose colour over time.
Photographs are printed on 250gsm satin and gloss paper.
