Armed Forces / Trying to find out Military Service Details
« on: Wednesday 07 December 11 16:03 GMT (UK) »
Hi Everyone!
Until yesterday I had never seen a picture of my great grandfather John George Oxley Jones (b. 12/07/1900 in Sunderland but later living in Horden, Co Durham) but when I saw that he was dressed in an army uniform it posed so many questions. I never knew he was a military man and have never found any record of it to date. Does anyone know what his collar badge and other symbols might signify and if they could possibly help shed some light on his history in the Military.
In a later, but less clear, photo his rank seems to have increased to sergeant.
Thanks
Jamie
