Percy Pritchard in the Camel Corps c1916

Percy Pritchard in the Camel Corps c1916
The date is a guess. Percy was with the Herefordshire Regiment in the trenches at Gallipoli. He was hospitalised at the end of 1915, with frostbite. In a postcard home, he refers to what I guess would be Christmas presents from the family, not reaching him in the hospital in Malta, but benefitting someone in 'the peninsular', which would have meant the Gallipoli peninsular. I get the impression his Camel Corps days were after he was discharged from Malta - hence 1916.
