Obvious choice would be RE,but could be London Rifle Brigade {5th London Rgt} Do You have an ID of the Soldier??If So the MiCs may confirm Regt.

Hi. There is a mic for a Charles G Platt here;

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documen...p;resultcount=1

RAMC then ASC. Does the cap badge look like any of those?

[Nigel Marshall]

The badge in the photo is neither RAMC or ASC/RASC.

It is very possible that as he was a young soldier he never served overseas and thus would not have a MIC.

I think the Ancestry papers should be the first port of call.

Cheers,

Nigel
