Editor's Comment:
Cpl. Barker is pictured with a 550 cc Triumph Model 'H'.

Pass no. 9120 as stamped by Assistant Provost Marshal, for the period 1st December 1917 to 28th February 1918.

Cpl. Barker appears to have transferred sometime after this pass was issued into the Tank Corps, receiving a Second Lieutenant's commission.
