n252901 Posted 25 June , 2010 Share Posted 25 June , 2010 Hi all, Its been a couple of years since I have posted. Again its regarding photos from my (now-late) grandmothers collection. This particular photo, has been puzzling us for a few weeks now. We can't find any more photos of him, in my grans collection, none of our living relatives can say "oh yes, that's great uncle charlie" etc But if we could narrow down the regiment or anything that might help Thanks again in advance.

Ken Lees Posted 25 June , 2010 Share Posted 25 June , 2010 Could you scan the cap badge at a higher resolution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n252901 Posted 25 June , 2010 Author Share Posted 25 June , 2010 Is this good better? I can try a different scan if this is still bad... Many thanks Could you scan the cap badge at a higher resolution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headgardener Posted 25 June , 2010 Share Posted 25 June , 2010 Looks like a Cheshire's badge. E. Yorks is also a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Doyle Posted 2 July , 2010 Share Posted 2 July , 2010 I'd go with E Yorks; the scroll ends touch the points of the star in this regiment's cap badge, but not in the Cheshires... Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krithia Posted 2 July , 2010 Share Posted 2 July , 2010 Yes, I think Peter is right, East Yorkshire Regiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n252901 Posted 2 July , 2010 Author Share Posted 2 July , 2010 Yes, I think Peter is right, East Yorkshire Regiment. Many thanks folks Interesting. A search of the appropriate surname and initial on www.east-yorkshire-regiment.co.uk pulls up a match... Does this match up? with any information in the photo? "Corporal Service Number: 14563 Battalion: East Yorkshire Regiment Service Notes: East Yorkshire Regiment Posted wounded Snapper October 1916" cheers Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
