Welcome to Rootschat.  I suggest you try the Regimental Museum at

Suffolkregimentmuseum.co.uk

Regiments usually have an in-house magazine in which they often feature pictures, particularly of senior officers, I believe the Suffolk Regiment  the Suffolk Gazette covers that time frame.

Thank you both for your reply. I sent an email to the museum and hopefully they may be able to help. I am from Malta so there is not much I can do from over here.

Hard luck, frustrating but it was worth a try.
