Soldiers - date/regiment etc?
« on: Thursday 13 November 08 13:46 GMT (UK) »
Hi Rootschatters  :)

Another unidentified photo. Any help with the uniform, regiment, date would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks!

Can you give a high res. scan of the cap badge.From here it looks like Devonshire & Dorset Regt.
Edit:Dorset Light Infantry.Not sure what the brassards are possibly signallers.Try putting this up on the armed forces board they're the experts.
