davidfegga Posted 17 August , 2006 Share Posted 17 August , 2006 Hi all Could anybody tell me the ranks of these officers of the RFA? Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnr.ktrha Posted 17 August , 2006 Share Posted 17 August , 2006 Hello, From Left to right- first 2 are Lt or 2nd Lt. [The cuff has a single line of braid around it] Can't see how many 'pips' are on the cuff. 3rd Is a Captain [2 Lines of Braid around the cuff] 4th is a major [but could be a Lt.Col., but apears to have a single badge of rank on cuff ie, a Crown.] Also Battery comanders were usually Majors, and this photo looks likely to be of a Battery.

gnr.ktrha Posted 17 August , 2006 Share Posted 17 August , 2006 can't see the next chaps rank badges, which are on his shoulder strapes. The last two are either 2nd Lt's or Lt's. Regards, Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidfegga Posted 17 August , 2006 Author Share Posted 17 August , 2006 Thanks for that, had to reduce the photo a lot because of size limits, so it's lost a lot of detail. It is indeed a battery photo, 'A' 175 brigade. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnr.ktrha Posted 17 August , 2006 Share Posted 17 August , 2006 Hello, It's great that you know what Battery it is. Do you know the names of any of the officers? I see a few seem to have the medal ribbon of the MC. Regards, Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidfegga Posted 17 August , 2006 Author Share Posted 17 August , 2006 Stewart Unfortunately I can't put names to faces. I have the war diaries of the brigade, and although it does mention some of the officers, and their awards it doesn't mention which batteries they were with. It part of a photo of the N.C.O'S of the battery, of which my Granddad was a member. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
