Hi, Have asked this question before, but wasn’t able to let anyone have a copy of the pic – well I have now managed to get my scanner going again and have one that I can email. I am trying to identify a military uniform circa 1918-20, but have so far drawn a blank. If there are any ‘military’ researchers out there who would be prepared to have a look I would be more than happy to email you a copy. I believe the chap is my great-uncle George, but I don’t have any more info on him than that, other than he died before my grandmother married in 1924. Any help gratefully received – have been going round in circles on this for almost a year! Regards Trudy UPDATE Have just had email from National Army Museum - really helpful and really quick - only mailed them yesterday. The uniform has been identified as an officer in the Irish Guards - asks more questions than answers as there are no Irish connection in my tree at all!!!!!!! Thanks to all for your help |

Hi Trudy, Have you tried the National Army Museum? You can e-mail them and send them a copy of your photo and they might be able to help you. http://www(.)national-army-museum.ac.uk/ (remove bracket) When you reach the home page, look to the top and you will see research info - click on that and then go right to the bottom of the next page and you will see an e-mail link to: The Department of Uniform, Badges and Medals Good luck! Cheers, Lynn |

Go to Yahoo Groups and join the Britregiments group. Some very knowledgeable people there, post the picture in their file or photo area and I am sure someone will be able to help you MB |
