gerrymurray2010@live.com Posted 7 March , 2014 Share Posted 7 March , 2014 Hello All; I am carrying out research into the Soldier shown in the attached Photograph but on this occasion I do not think that he is wearing a service uniform; could members advise.

Blackblue Posted 7 March , 2014 Share Posted 7 March , 2014 Do you have a name Gerry? He certainly appears to be wearing issue boots and puttees. The side cap may suggest Royal Flying Corps. Rgds Tim D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveE Posted 7 March , 2014 Share Posted 7 March , 2014 I'm not a uniform man but could they be Kitchener Blues? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepoy Posted 7 March , 2014 Share Posted 7 March , 2014 Steve is correct, he is wearing a "Kitchener Blues" uniform. Unfortunately, there is no obvious insignia to indicate his Regiment. Gerry do you know his name???I have attached a group photo where the same uniform is being worn. Sepoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrymurray2010@live.com Posted 10 March , 2014 Author Share Posted 10 March , 2014 Tim D, Steve, Lieut Colonel, many thanks for your replies. The Man's name is James Craven and believe that he was with the 12th, (Service), Battalion, York and Lancs but cannot confirm at this stage. Best wishes.
