John,

As Lydart says "a fine photo"

The centre plate in the helmet badge should define him, but I can't find anything like it for Essex.

There are a great group of guys in the armed services section who can probably answer you in 10 seconds. May I suggest that you re-post on that board. They probably don't look in the photo section very often.

Hello Irene, sorry for the delay in thanking you very much for your
skilful touch up on this photo, it's amazing what you have done.

I didn't know this was possible unless you sent off for it.

I searched through the categories to find your reply but ended up having to find it in my email inbox  :-[ :-[

Where is your section on roots ?

Thanks again
John :) ;)
