Hello Tim try reducing the size of your picture, as you can only upload 100K regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Lynch Posted 27 March , 2011 Author Share Posted 27 March , 2011 OK, having taken advice from Ian and forced a passing twelve year old to sort this out, here's another attempt to put up the picture. Any info anyone can offer gratefully accepted. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roughdiamond Posted 27 March , 2011 Share Posted 27 March , 2011 Do you have a name Tim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Lynch Posted 28 March , 2011 Author Share Posted 28 March , 2011 Do you have a name Tim? I've been called a great many names! I take it you mean the guy in the picture. No, unfortunately all I've got is a dedication " Nance from Richmond 7.12.15". "Nance" is Nancy Cave, a VAD nurse based in Maidenhead. I've no idea what their relationship might be. As Robert points out, he appears to have two pips up. I had thought that in the early war they would have been worn on the cuff rather than the shoulders but clearly not.

daggers Posted 28 March , 2011 Share Posted 28 March , 2011 The pips appear to be on a greatcoat, not SD. I suspect that the cuff badges would only be on SD but await experts' views. No opinion on the cap badge, sorry. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Lynch Posted 28 March , 2011 Author Share Posted 28 March , 2011 Post here Uniforms & Cap Badges might help. Thanks for that very sensible suggestion, I probably should have started off there shouldn't I? I've now posted there as well. Thanks again Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Bulloch Posted 28 March , 2011 Share Posted 28 March , 2011 Tim It could be a cap badge from one of a New Zealand or South Africa Regiment. Aye Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
