Help needed in identifying a Uniform please.
« on: Thursday 03 April 14 12:25 BST (UK) »
I was told this is a photo of my Great grand parents Arthur Percy Baker b. 1880 (the man in the man in the flat cap) and Annie Maria Hodges b. 1883, by their daughter Winifred Iris Baker b. 1912. Taken on their wedding day, which was the 11 Jul 1903 in Chilham, Kent. (It's a shame there isn't more of the background on show to give clues to where it was taken.)

I have always had trouble believing this, because the man looks quite old.  (I know not a very clear photo) yet there is only 3 years between them.  Anyway, I have no idea who the gentleman is in the Uniform, but if I knew what the uniform was, it could possible give me clues on how to find out.

Any help much appreciated

Hi Mikki...I have asked for this to be moved to the Armed Forces Board for a more informed response.
