Relative in R.E.M.E
« on: Monday 13 February 23 11:05 GMT (UK) »
Hello, I have been given a photo of my great uncle in his R.E.M.E uniform. His name is Harry T Knight. I can see from this he was in Anti-Aircraft Command. Any further info the photo shows would be greatly appreciated - am having trouble with rank. Also, would it be possible to trace his service history? Looking forward to hearing more!

Hi nanny jan and Jebber,

This would indicate he was a staff/colour sergeant as there appears to be something above the chevrons? Also, do you have any idea of the badge on his breast pocket?

Thanks
