World War One / Are these "Real" Uniforms
« on: Thursday 19 June 08 23:24 BST (UK)  »
Hi, Can anyone help in the recognition of these Uniforms.
The girl on the right is my Great Aunt Rosie Turner. She was born around 1905. Middlesbrough.
The other girl  Lizzie Ann McNaney was her half sister, born in 1912 also in Middlesbrough.
The girl/boy in the middle we don't know. We thought it may have been their brother/half brother George William Turner, but he died in France/Flanders 9 Apr 1917. He was in the K.O.Y.L.I.
The photo was taken at Services Studio, Middlesbrough.
The problem is they all look too young to have been in the War.
Was this a studio where you get dressed up like soldiers or nurses?
Close up of the cap badge, not to clear though.
Thank you. look forward to receiving your thoughts.

Armed Forces / What Uniform is this?
« on: Friday 07 March 08 15:19 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
Not a good photo and may be impossible but can anyone recognise the uniform my grandfather is wearing. The photo was taken Middlesbrough 1939c.
Is it the Royal Artillery.?
I have a war medal card with the same name as him stating Royal Artillery, Gunner.
If the uniform is that of the Royal Artillery then I am on the right track.
Thanks
Anne

Hi,
Not a good photo.
Wonder if anyone knows what Uniform my Grandfather is wearing.
The photo was taken 1939c in Middlesbrough, Yorkshire.
I have a record with the same name as his stating "Royal Artillery" Gunner.
But I have no way of knowing if it is my grandfather.
So if the uniform is the Royal Artilley then I am on the right track.
Not sure if this is the correct board.
Many thanks
Anne
