World War One / Help with identifying cap badge
« on: Sunday 25 August 13 13:18 BST (UK)  »
Hello All

I have recently discovered some of my grandparents photos and wondered if anyone can help with identifying the cap badge on this one. I'm sure that may grandfather is sitting on the second row, far right (being leaned on!). The trouble is that I have a card from France signed by him that is embroidered with the motto of the RFA, but this cap badge doesn't seem to be the same.

Thanks and I hope I can attach the picture as it is the first I have tried!

Hi

I wonder if anyone could help me find out where my husband's great-uncle is buried.

Yesterday I found the QSA medal of John Edward Gill amongst my mother-in-laws things. After deciphering the information on the rim, and spending the afternoon on the net, I have discovered quite a bit about him. He joined Thorneycroft's Mounted Infantry on 27 Oct 1899 and died of Enteric on 4 June 1900. I even found a letter that was written by him to his parents on 4th Dec 1899 and published in the Nottingham Daily Express on 8 Jan 1900. All I need to do now if find out where he was buried. He died in Dundee (SA) - from a search on http://www.roll-of-honour.com.

Thanks!
