Guest AmericanDoughboy Posted 29 June , 2004 Share Posted 29 June , 2004 His badge holds a resemblance to the Durham Light Infantry Badge but I do not believe that that is so simply because there looks as to be something sticking out of the top of the badge. Also, the young man on the left could possibly be an officer simply because by 1916 - 1918 "Kitchener's Volunteers" held many young officers with no real battle experience, just officer training. It was very common, however I would not judge by his age, but his tunic. Officer tunics were mostly very dress like tunics with ties etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_H Posted 29 June , 2004 Share Posted 29 June , 2004 Nigel Ox & Bucks Light Infantry, plain bugle hotn with no lettering below the cords. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilB Posted 29 June , 2004 Share Posted 29 June , 2004 Annette - Ox & Bucks? Can I just see the OX on his shoulder title? Surely the young man on the left (A private I would have thought) is carrying a normal swagger stick and wearing a normal lanyard. Fairly standard gear for walking out? Not sure what the capbadges are of the other two though! Phil B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL Posted 29 June , 2004 Author Share Posted 29 June , 2004 The badges on my grandad at the back and the young elvis looking young man on the left are the Royal Warwicks may be the 11th batt as my grandad was in that battalion so maybe the other was aswell But also does anybody recognise them as their relatives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilB Posted 29 June , 2004 Share Posted 29 June , 2004 Yes, I see it now HB! The other option for the bugle could be Sherwood Rangers, but he doesn`t look like a cavalryman. Phil B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Fisher Posted 30 June , 2004 Share Posted 30 June , 2004 I'm with Phil B on the chap front left, Ox & Bucks LI, with an Oxfordshire shoulder title. If the two Brummies are what's been suggested, they're lacking the Birmingham Battalion shoulder titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
