Help with uniform not necessarily British
« on: Tuesday 02 May 23 23:00 BST (UK) »
Just had this photo sent to me by an American relative. We’ve no idea what this uniform is. Any one got any idea?

Could be an Imperial Yeomanry Trooper from the Second Boer War:

Do you know when your man was born?

Thanks
Ive no idea about dates but I’ve emailed my cousin in America.
He came across the photo among his mother’s possessions. I don’t think it was labelled at all. I think he’s hoping that if he could get an idea about the uniform it might help work out who the photo is of.

Good evening,

Looks to be 4 clasps so it would be the QSA.
