Edward Morgan - Can anyone Identify the Uniform?
« on: Friday 10 February 06 21:32 GMT (UK) »
Here are a couple of photos of my Great Uncle Edward ..... the first one I imagine was taken during WW1 and the second during WW2 .... could be wrong though!

I believe that he could have been in the medical corps or something like that.

Any information would be gratefully received!

Kind regards,
Chui

First pic. looks like circa 1939. Certainly not WW1. Those caps were 1938 pattern or thereabouts. Cap badge looks like RAMC.

Oddly, Pic. 2 looks like some years later and yet jacket looks like earlier pattern.

Sorry can't be more help.

There's another clue there. The medal bars look different. I don't have the reference book, but someone who has could tell where he served, what medals he got.

It's odd. Pic. 1 looks like battle dress and Pic. 2 looks like skirted jacket, the inter war design worn with peaked cap. He looks older in Pic. 2, odd indeed.
