  Can anyone shed any light on this photo of my great grandad Hubert John James Newman,  (born in St. Pancras, 20th August 1898,  married Eliza Baxter in 1920,)  He served in WW1, but have had so many different opinions on regiments and stuff from "experts" that cant believe any! Some have said the uniform fits the cavalry, some say fuseliers, one American WW1 expert was convinced he served in the military police,,,
  Any suggestions would be grand, we are completly stumped!
