help with occupation or rank please
« on: Monday 11 May 09 17:52 BST (UK) »
Can anyone read the occupation of Charles Harbottle please? Corporal ???

It's from his 1915 marriage.

I usually have problems attaching images, so apologies if this doesn't work! (in fact this is try 5)

I'll second that! Wouldn't have known what it stood for but I agree with the initials.

Thank you both - I would never have guessed that  (apart from the fact he was from East end of London). I thought the abbreviations were part of the rank. Very grateful.

It's always worth asking RChatters!
