World War One / Uniform Identification
« on: Sunday 31 January 21 06:41 GMT (UK) »
Good morning, I hope everyone is well and safe,
This photo is purportedly my friend's great grandfather, Arthur Alexander Pipe, Barnsley greengrocer who served throughout the war in 24 Fire Command (Lancs & Ches) RGA. His attestation form states he had no previous military service,.
We are confused that his uniform appears more cavalry orientated, he is even wearing spurs, and the cap badge doesn't't look like Royal Garrison Artillery.
Any help would be appreciated - many thanks
