Armed Forces / Help needed to identify uniforms in Gibraltar
« on: Friday 02 June 23 19:20 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I'm hoping someone could help me to identify the uniforms in the below photo please. Unfortunately I have very little information other than this photo was amongst my grandfather's collection of family photos, so I can only assume they are his relatives. His father's family was from Banffshire, Wiltshire and Sussex whilst his mother's family was from Suffolk and Norfolk.

The only other information available is that the photo seems to have been taken in Gibraltar and I believe their hats suggest they were in the air force - any other ideas greatly appreciated!

Banffshire / Help needed - uniform identification Maurice Armstrong
« on: Friday 02 June 23 18:38 BST (UK)  »
Hello!

I’m hoping someone will be able to help me identify the uniform in the photo below. I’m lucky that my grandfather is still with us and has lots of family photos. We found this one today and don’t know who the person is for certain but believe it could be Maurice Armstrong, his great-grandfather, because I’ve found him on the 1891 census as ‘Keeper of Prison’ at Prison Reidhaven Street in Banffshire. He is also on the 1881 census as a Police Constable in Aberlour.

I can’t find any photos on Google that match the distinctive pattern on his hat so a bit stumped as to whether this could be him or someone of a different profession.

TIA for any help/ideas!
