Hi

Could somebody help identify this uniform please?

Any more clues, please?

He is Francis Crook from Bolton, Lancs but that's about all I know I'm afraid
He was my grandfather's best man in 1938

Thanks

Just a suggestion, have you taken the photo out of its frame and looked for a caption on the back of photo.

Thank you, there is nothing on the back, it's just one of the old postcard type photos

The only thing to go on is the badge, and it's too blurred to see the detail.
But just by general shape I'd say something like the Royal Signals

Thank you

I have found someone of the same name on the ww2 deaths - could this be a royal artillery cap badge?
