Armed Forces / Need help in identifying military uniform
« on: Tuesday 09 January 18 15:40 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I need help in identifying this uniform. I read online that the white piping could mean he was a volunteer. It looks similar to some of the uniforms in the British artillery divisions circa 1900. From a census, I know that he wasn't in the military until after 1901. Could this be from the last year of the second Boer war? Also, a 1911 census states that he was in the "French Polisher Army Reserve (A)". When I look up French Polisher Army on google I just get a bunch of links to furniture refinishing. So either the census taker or google is inaccurate. Any help is greatly appreciated!
