crayolakid Posted 12 December , 2009 Share Posted 12 December , 2009 Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help identify the uniform on a relative of mine. Hopefully by identifying the uniform I can finally put a name to the face. Thanks James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 12 December , 2009 Share Posted 12 December , 2009 I'll start the ball rolling with a stab at Hertfordshire Regiment. He looks like he got one that fitted where it touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted 12 December , 2009 Share Posted 12 December , 2009 I am unable to identify the cap badge or the shoulder title but he is a Drummer. He has the drum badge on his upper left sleeve and probably has it on the right also. He is wearing bugle cords on his left shoulder and they are not those of a Royal Regiment so were probably dark green which would suggest a line infantry regiment. He is also wearing a very fancy watch fob which was unofficial and may have been worn for the photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had another squint and, as Stephen says, the Hertfordshire Regiment is a possibility. The photograph was taken in Bishop's Stortford which may also be a clue. While his Service Dress is a little on the loose side, it is well worn and he looks at ease with wearing it; nicely wound puttees as well. Certainly no stranger to the uniform IMHO.

crayolakid Posted 12 December , 2009 Author Share Posted 12 December , 2009 Thanks for the replies - although this now raises even more questions as it's not one of the regiments i was hoping it to be! Cheers James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony paley Posted 12 December , 2009 Share Posted 12 December , 2009 Crayola' Real long shot, I would confirm that it is the Hertfordshire Regt. which was a Territorial Army Regiment. He is a 'Cadet' and wears a drummers arm badge. It is a remote chance that he is the member of a School Cadet Corps, possibly a residential school. Haileybury is near Bishops Stortford and would have a 'Cadet Corps.' Tony P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffsyeoman Posted 14 December , 2009 Share Posted 14 December , 2009 The cap badge is certainly Hertfordshire Regiment. I agree that it's a Cadet shoulder title. But didn't Haileybury have their own cap badge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-ted Posted 21 December , 2009 Share Posted 21 December , 2009 The cap badge is certainly Hertfordshire Regiment. I agree that it's a Cadet shoulder title. But didn't Haileybury have their own cap badge? Mrs old-ted has found the archivist at Haileybury very helpful in the past. They can be contacted via their web site Haileybury Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7t2ndswinger Posted 21 December , 2009 Share Posted 21 December , 2009 The shoulder title may be T/HERTS. I can't enlarge it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
