Armed Forces / Re: Uniform Identification Alfred Feeney
« on: Friday 02 April 21 18:44 BST (UK)  »
Hi Frogsmile ,   with all the information you gave me yesterday Ive been reading up on the 1st Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers. I did find they were posted to Egypt and then to Gibraltar but as I said Alfred never made it home, Egypt or Gibraltar seem to be his final resting place. I would never have gotten this far without all your help. All I knew was he died from Disease in some foreign land. You are a hive of information, thank you so much.

NB.  Do not rule out that he might previously have served with the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, as when the South Irish infantry regiments were disbanded in 1922 those men who wished to continue serving transferred to other regiments.
He was only 20 in 1926 (in photo) so I dont think this applies, but thank you anyway

Thank you Frogsmile. I have no idea how you got all that information but thank you so much. Now I am one step closer, next to find out what continent he was sent to.

The Royal Dublin Fusiliers were disbanded in 1922.
Many units have flaming grenade collar badges including:
Royal Artillery
Royal Engineers
Other Fusilier Regiments

Armed Forces / Uniform Identification Alfred Feeney
« on: Thursday 01 April 21 15:48 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone please help with the identification of this uniform. He is my great
 uncle who went overseas and never came home. He is Alfred Feeney born in Dublin circa 1906.  I think the photo was taken between 1926 and 1930 judging by the photographers name on the back. S.H. Brock Photographers, Maison Diea Road, Dover. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
