Could it be a WW2 soldier, rather than the Great War!  Tongue

Thanks very much.  My dad seems to think all his family were in Royal Fusiliers but so far that's proving to be incorrect.  Do you have any idea where I could search online to find the right regiment?

Thanks again - much appreciated.

It could be RFs. See:

You posted a pic in the other thread:

That is tropical dress, and with the topi that they are wearing they could be in India (the 5th Battalion was there when war broke out and they then shipped to Africa)
