I was told on the army board it was fusiliers or artillery because of the collar badges

Thanks everyone for your comments, and Tony, that was so helpful to look at!

China - that date would fit in perfectly - and judging that you all think it is the same guy, I think it is now safe to say I have a new pic of him, and his wife who I never had a pic of before. Hurrah!

Big thankful hugs all round

Hi all,

Could anyone please tell me when the army photo might have been taken? Also, in the second photo - can I have your views on whether you think it's the same guy as in the army photo? Obviously taken later on...

Thanks - any help much appreciated!

Thanks everyone. I am very grateful for you telling me I'm on the wrong track as you've made my brain switch on and rethink...

Just trawled through looking for fusiliers/artillery folk after your comments. And one of my great great grandfathers was in the 5th Fusiliers based in Chatham area. He quit the army in 1878 after only a few years. So... based on what you've all said, I'm thinking it's more than likely him. I have a photo of him when he is older - I might post the two pics on the photo board and see if people think it's the same chap.

Very exciting as I have no previous pic of his wife, as she died very young.

Thanks for helping a dozy woman out! You guys are great :-) x

Armed Forces / Can anyone tell which regiment from this photo?

No idea what age this photo is or what regiment the man is in - I've been passed a family photo and no-one knows who is in the pics. Just says Gravesend on it.

My hunch is that it might just be my great-great grandmother and her first husband who was in the 24th Reg of Foot. Would have been c1871

Anyone any knowledge/ideas about which regiment the guy might be in as my own hunches are really not that reliable?! And I'd hate to suggest stuff to family to get their hopes up just to find out I'm hideously wrong.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

Hazel
