A COLLECTION of historic images showing wounded First World War soldiers enjoying winter sports have been re-discovered at Longleat. The photographs, taken in 1917, show soldiers skating and tobogganing on Half Mile Pond, a large lake next to Longleat House on the estate near Warminster. One of the images shows Lady Kathleen Thynne, a daughter of the 5th Marquess of Bath, skating on the ice with an officer. Another depicts four wounded soldiers pushing a makeshift toboggan across the frozen lake. Longleat curator, Dr James Ford said: “The severely cold weather of late January and early February 1917 led to Longleat’s lakes freezing over.
