Wordless Wednesday - Harry Hudson

This is my great-uncle Harry Hudson, a picture taken when he was serving in the Horseguards in the 1920s. Harry left England shortly after leaving the army, and spent most of his life living in Italy (and France and Germany and Switzerland...).  This bad copy is the only image I had of him until last week, when I made contact with Harry's only son Moritz. So now I have a new cousin, and several more photographs, and a new story to tell sometime...
