Dating a old photo of mine
« on: Friday 19 January 18 23:56 GMT (UK) »
Trying to date the photo, not sure who it is.  Any ideas based on the uniform?  Any tips would help, even a website for dating old military uniforms.

Actually did not forget.......... did not do it right.  The photo had too many bytes.  Reread the information, should be OK..

I know nothing about uniforms but it seems a little similar to the one discussed on this thread:

If it is a yeomanry uniform this may narrow your search a little.

Agree with Regorian looks like a West Point Officer Cadet.
Possibly 1930's.
