Photo help?
« on: Friday 23 October 09 22:49 UTC (UK) »
Know this is a long shot, not a particularly sharp image, any help with identification of uniform greatly appreciated. All I know is the photographer was in business between 1860 and 1880 and the chap a Brogden I think originates from Lancashire.
Thanks

Although the grenade collar badges are not exactly as they have been in later years, they could be Royal Artillery, which had very close ties to Woolwich until a recent decamp to the west.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have decided it is most probably a sibling of my grandmothers.
