Royal Field Artillery???

Hi, it's one of the Artillery units, as said, probably Royal Field Artillery, or possibly Royal Horse Artillery

Definitely FRA or RHA.  The photo dates to after 1915 due to the type of tunic being worn and is likely to be 1915/16.  Does this tie in with what you know?

Thanks for all the replies   .   The man we think most likely to be in the photo  is E C Inman    I couldn't find anything  on Ancestry  military search . I've just found  an E C Inman   on a different search      and it  gives  Royal Garrison Artillery.  Is this  possible.

Hi, do you have any idea of his age when the photograph was taken?

There is a medal index card for a Ernest C Inman with the number 344242, also on the award roll it states:
         Sub Unit: Forth. (RGA - (TF))
 Previous Units:    R.G.A. (T.F) 344242, Gunner.

Could this be your man?

Frank.


ADDED: I have to pop out but I'm sure someone else will be along to add to your post.

A further clue -  the EC Inman referred to was in the Forth Royal Garrison Artillery a unit of the Territorial Force (TF) which had 4 companies in Edinburgh, one in Kirkaldy and Kinghorn and another in Burntisland and Inverkeithing.  His medal record indicates he didn't serve abroad.

The bandoliers in the photo were for gunners riding or drawing horses.  The RGA did not have horses for moving guns unless they re-roled to Field Artillery.
