Photograph of Victoria Cross winner George Stanley Peachment, scanned from p.35 of the Bury and District Soldiers' Memorial Book, Section 1914-1915, published by the Bury Times. The accompanying text reads:

Private GEO. STANLEY PEACHMENT, V.C., (18), Manchester Road, Bury, of the King's Royal Rifles, was killed in France on September 25th, 1915, under circumstances which gained him the Victoria Cross. A memorial to him has been erected in Parkhills U.M. Church, Bury.

The book was published c. 1920, so presumably the photograph is in the public domain in the United Kingdom, but may not be in the United States.
