TraceyRogers Posted 24 October , 2009 Share Posted 24 October , 2009 Hello everyone Is there anyone out there who could try and identify the uniform or regiment of this soldier. He has lyre collar badges and a single chevron on his lower left arm. I have always thought the chap is my great grandfather Robert Henry Parry who was in the KORLR number 8244 but I don't think this is their uniform. Any thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
