Jack2020 Posted 11 August , 2021 Share Posted 11 August , 2021 Hello, In my family possession is a photo of an unidentified soldier in uniform. Originally we believed it to be my great grandfather however we have since found another photo which contradicts it. Sadly there are no discernible cap badges or shoulder titles I can see. The only thing I could possibly think of is the buttons. Any experts out there that could help find any identifiable information from this image?

The buttons look to be the General Service pattern worn by most of the other ranks in the British Army so they are a non-runner in recognising any particular regiment. Pete.

FROGSMILE Posted 11 August , 2021 Share Posted 11 August , 2021 (edited) I second Pete’s assessment and identification of the GS buttons. When photos like that are retained in a family they are often brothers or cousins. If you examine your family tree you might well be able to narrow things down to one or two likely candidates. Did your great grandfather have any siblings? Edited 11 August , 2021 by FROGSMILE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
