Help with rank and regiment
« on: Wednesday 11 November 20 23:13 GMT (UK) »
I have in my possession this photo and I’m ashamed to say I know nothing about it apart from my great aunt saying he used to lead the troops in parades? I have no idea what regiment or rank he is, I do have a vague guess who he could be, so any help identifying him would be much appreciated. He does look very grand though!

Such a good clear photograph.

I have no idea who he is other than stating the obvious as to whether he is an Officer or a Senior NCO.

That’s great thank you very much!
I think I know who it is now, William Seabrook.
