Alan thank you for your reply. I have always been told that the photo is of my Grandfather so what I have found out is a little disappointing. I am going to try and compare the photo against some others I have (non military)

Cheers

Malky thanks for your reply.

Re Army No & Mothers name that is why I used possibly & a question mark in relation to those 2 bits of information as I was not sure if they were correct.

Thanks for confirming Mothers name as you said that 2 census's and the Army record confirm Fanny as being her name.

Jim thanks for your reply.

Maybe she is wearing those clothes because they were the best she had and wanted to look her best for the photo. Wouldn't it be possible after some time in the Army he saw a dentist. Weren't a lot of records lost during WWII?

Cheers

Jim I think that the photo would've been taken around the time of his marriage in 1918. The mystery I now have is when did he re-enlist as he is a Sjt in the photo

I have posted this photo elsewhere on this site and it has been suggested to link to that photo to enable dating of the uniform

Peter thanks for your reply. I have edited the Royal out of the post as I wasn't aware of when Royal came into being. The Army No was suggested by someone on WWI forum from I believe Ancestry.  I don't have an Ancestry account myself.

Ken thanks for your reply. I will do as you suggest re the photo

Cheers
