cap insignia id please
« on: Sunday 03 July 05 20:47 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I don't know if this is a daft question of not, as I don't know anything about these things.

Is it possible to identify the regiment from this cap insignia? It's not a great quality photo I'm afraid and may not be possible. The photo was taken around 1918.

Regards,
Adam

Hi Mack,

That's brilliant. Until I found the photo a few weeks ago I didn't even know that he'd been in the army.

Thanks,
