Identify the Regiment

This is George Nurse from Weybourne, Norfolk. Any ideas of his regiment? He survived the war. I have no other details of his military service, not even a regimental number!

It looks like he is wearing a dress tunic of the RE as there is a braid on his shoulder vice a shoulder strap. The collars are, of course, grenades, but I don't know if the OR's wore the "ubique" scroll underneath like the officers did. Doubtless someone else will know.

Do you know if he had a middle name Jamie? I believe the uniform may also be consistent with the Royal Artillery or perhaps even one of the fusiliers regiments.

Try searching for him here:
