Identify a Uniform please?
« on: Wednesday 03 June 15 20:30 BST (UK) »
Evening :)

Can anyone tell me if this was a uniform for the army during the first world war?  The Gentleman was born in 1880, and died in 1948.  I cannot find any record of him serving in the War, yet family history said he was injured in the war, and there a few photos of him in uniform.

Cheers,

Daisy Loo

Hi, I'm sure it's the Army Medical Corps  :)

That's great, thank you very much.  Have scoured the usual sites, and no records seem to be available for him at all, no medal roll, no service record :(  Oh well.  At least I know what he was now anyway!  Thank you :)

The badge on his arm looks like a Red Cross.
