Richard Barrett Talbot Kelly served as a Forward Observation Officer with the 52nd Brigade, Royal Feld Artillery from May 1915, when the unit was serving as part of the 9th (Scottish) Divisional Artillery, until he was wounded in early August 1917 at Ypres, by which time his brigade had become an Army Field Artillery Brigade. During his 27 months at the front, Talbot Kelly saw a great deal of the war, often very close to the front line. When he first arrived in France, the short journey from Corps HQ to Divisional HQ was made via bus, and the man who handed him written authority for that journey was none other than the Prince of Wales, who at the time was serving as a staff captain. Talbot Kelly joined his brigade while it was at Festubert, and later that year he saw action at the Battle of Loos, followed by tours of duty around Ypres and in the Ploegsteert sector. He was present on the opening day of the Battle of the Somme near Montauban and returned to the area later that year up by the Butte de Warlencourt. (Extract from Peter Hughes, 'Wake up, we've a busy dayahead' - With the South Africans on 9th April 1917').
