Uniform/Date Identification
« on: Sunday 22 December 19 01:14 GMT (UK) »
Hello

I have a series of images given to me by a relative. I do not know whether they are from the first or second world war.

Can anyone identify the uniform/caps/badges? And can anyone see whether they are from the first or second world war?

Thanks and apologies for quality of images as I don't have a scanner.

WW2 era definitely - Royal Engineers I'd suggest.  Cap badges fairly clear, dark script on the shoulder titles where visible in the last pic.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Capbadge is not very clear to see ,but I think it's Royal Army Service Corps. By the way it's WW2.

Cheers,

Bomber Command research during WW2 in the South Eastern part of The Netherlands. Especially aircraft crash research and locating their crews.

I agree with Royal Engineers, the cap badge is the wrong shape for RASC which has points,

It's RE for sure.  early part of the war circa 1940-1 judging by the type of uniform and hats.
