Dear All,

Does anyone have any idea as to which regiment this gentleman served with from the insignia on his cap?

Many thanks.

Looks like Prince of Wales Feathers to me, maybe the Welsh Regiment, someone will be along to let you know one way or the other tho'

Regards
Frank.

The Prince of Wales's Leinster Regiment, I would suggest.

Dear All,

Thanks for your help on this one.  I would say based on the family connection to Ireland and the similarity to the badge of the Leinster regiment.  I would say its that one.

Thank you Jess & Shaun.
