A little puzzle that I have been struggling with, now time to open it up, I think.

Family member K R Marden, b1917 shown in 1939 register as 'Bread Baking' a reserved occupation in the provisional 1939 listings, photos showing him in uniform and to have served in Palestine with the Beds and Herts regt, nothing found in the medal rolls for him, BUT, R Marden Pte 5949806 1st Bn Herts regt is shown in medal rolls for 1945-1948 Palestine, this is the only man of that name that has been found so far. 

I have included the best image I can of his cap badge.

My puzzle is this, are they one and the same man, if so how do I prove it beyond doubt??

This board does accept pictures, so rename your file (on your computer) to something that is pretty unique -  maybe with today's date included- then try again

Thanks John I will try this one if it gets through I will do the others

The cap badge is most certainly not that of the Hertfordshire Regiment or the Beds and Herts.

 It looks very like a Royal Army Service Corps cap badge.  Bakery was one of the many RASC trades.

How to prove it - apply for his records.  You don't need an army number as long as you have date of birth, death cert, consent of next of kin and £30.
