Looking for suggestions for the cap.

Hi,

I posted this link a couple of times in the past in response to other queries on likely Merchant Navy cap badges:

https://archive.org/details/merchant-navy-cap-badges-gallery/yeoward%20bros.jpg

There are over 500 examples there of different Merchant Navy cap badges.

Possibly not comprehensive but it might be worth having a look.

If you can identify the badge from that link, you can then research the shipping line and that will hopefully help you date the photo in some way.

You might also consider finding a message board with a specialist Merchant Navy theme and re-posting there.

Good luck with your research.
