Can anyone tell me anything about this photo. I would be most grateful if you could tell me if it

It strikes me as being a little odd, that neither are wearing shoulder flashes.

If you know your grandfathers Regt Number, it is possible to find out who he served with.

6404938 was his number . A Sussex Regiment number.

Hi Lee

It's an interesting one as there are no cap badges which would confirm a regiment.

Both men have obviously been decorated.  So their service is now longstanding. 

Do you have an appoximate date you think the photo might be?

if i had to guess, i'd say they were campaign medal ribbons and the photo is post 1945

It's a Shame we can't tell what the Colour ribbons are wouln't this tell me what they were for and were.
Thanks for all your help.

I would agree with Harribobs on this with regards to the medal ribbons and would also say that they appear to be the 39-45 Star/The War Medal/ and Defence Medal for both men. Also to note is that the BD blouse looks newish.
