suetobin Posted 2 October , 2009 Share Posted 2 October , 2009 Hi all, I am new here and just learning how to use this site. I wonder if anyone can identify the uniform my grandfather is wearing in this photo: I'm not even sure that it's an army uniform. Perhaps it's a fire service uniform. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted 2 October , 2009 Share Posted 2 October , 2009 Hi Sue, Your Grandfather looks to be wearing a police uniform, and I am sure those are Prince of Wales feathers so perhaps a Welsh Constabulary, thats my pennyworth. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Thanks for the very quick reply, Rob. My grandfather did live in Glamorgan, Wales, so I shall have to look into the Welsh Constabulary. You've been a great help. Thank you.

You've been a great help. Thank you. Sue Sue, I'm far from being an expert, but I think it's post 1911 as that's about the time the uniform changed from the long frock coat to the uniform your grandfather seems to be wearing. Glamorgan POlice now forms part of South Wales Police, you may find this web page helpful. http://www.south-wales.police.uk/fe/master.asp?n1=8 On the original photo you may be able to make out his identity numbers on his collar. You never know the museu, may hold his service record if he is one of theirs! Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted 2 October , 2009 Share Posted 2 October , 2009 Hi Sue, His number looks to be 124. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suetobin Posted 2 October , 2009 Author Share Posted 2 October , 2009 You have both been a big help. I'm very grateful. Thank you for the link Jon.
