I have 2-3 photos of "unknown blokes" that were in my mother's pile of photographs.
Can anybody identify this uniform? The letters on the shoulder start with R.A..... so possibly RAF? The image on the arm shows some rampant animal....
UPDATE 1: Now been informed it is Army, RASC.
UPDATE 2: suggested one of the medal ribbons is for: 8th Army, North Africa
UPDATE 3: No 1939-1945 badge present, so could be pre-end of war.
As a starting guess, this is person is most likely to have been based in or around Chesterton, Cambridgeshire. Most likely a local lad/British, but could be from American forces as they were based up the road.
I'd like to think it's mum's "family/related photos", rather than "stranger/Yank that bought me a drink and wrote for awhile"
I think he certainly looks "local to the Chesterton, Cambridge area"
