Andy Wade Posted 25 March , 2010 Share Posted 25 March , 2010 A guess. Probably wrong but bearskin... buckle on belt... Grenadier Guards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbarrett1 Posted 25 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 25 March , 2010 andy I really dont know i have not got a date for the photo i would say just prior to the war it could be even earlier. I know that the 2nd KEH were there i taught it might have been one of them Martin A guess. Probably wrong but bearskin... buckle on belt... Grenadier Guards?

Staffsyeoman Posted 25 March , 2010 Share Posted 25 March , 2010 Lace is wrong for the Guards; the collar badge looks like the coronet above the grenade of the Royal Irish Fusiliers cap badge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted 25 March , 2010 Share Posted 25 March , 2010 I would go for RIF as well by the collar badges and belt buckle as has been said. The cap looks to be the wrong shape for Guards as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Stewart Posted 25 March , 2010 Share Posted 25 March , 2010 Cracking photo of a Royal Irish Fusilier officer. The cap - which is infact a bearskin - is laid on it's side giving it an unusual shape. Fusilier officers wore their bearskins in proportion to their actual height.
