Have no idea where this relation was in the war effort, as we were never told anything about him, so any info gratefully accepted.

I only know he lived in London.

Going by the trade badge on his lower arm it looks like he was a gunnery instructor in the Royal Artillery. Although the shoulder tab is not that clear it could be the Royal Garrison Artillery and higher res' image of just the shoulder area may make the lettering clearer.

I agree with OR ......Royal Artillery.

Have you got a name for him?

Thats a great expression on the babys face!

[ringarosy]

Yes, it is.

Unfortunately the baby died aged two.

I'm thinking of putting it into the photo restoration section, as they can do wonders over there, and it's the only photo we have of her.
