Remembered Today:

RAF Observer Officer with a regimental badge?

Three RAF officers and dog...I think! Taken in 1918 However, the chap on extreme right although sporting Observers wing appears to still have a regimental collar dog. Was this a common occurrence? Or am I mistaken?

Unless Commisioned directly in to the RFC, Officers came from many regiments.

Wearing their Army uniforms with "Regimental" distinctions was the norm with Pilot or Observer wings added. He is wearing a cuff rank jacket.

Between 1918-19 a variety of uniforms were common for men in the RAF, reflecting army regiments and the navy too.

Anybody got any idea of the collar dog. It looks like it could be West Ridings or West Yorkshires.

Looks more a Paschal lamb to me...maybe The Queens, Royal West Surreys?
