Muerrisch Posted 12 August , 2017 Share Posted 12 August , 2017 6 hours ago, themonsstar said: I have copies of the following Dress Regulations for the Army if this helps anyone's research 1857 1874 1883 VII 1894 1900 1904 1911 1934 and some after WW2. Thank you. The problem area seems confined to other ranks, and my trawl of their Clothing Regulations over the centuries focussed on ranks and badges, not the clothing on which the mystic icons and tokens were sewn. Thus I only have CR 1894 and 1914 complete. It might have to be Cambridge Uni Library again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them are wearing 1908 pattern web belts, others appear to be wearing a narrower belt but with a 1908 style buckle. I've not seen that type of belt before.

I've not seen that type of belt before. It's very likely to be an OTC pattern belt, which was very similar to the modified waist belt created by converting shoulder braces and adding a Twigg buckle: http://www.karkeeweb.com/patterns/1908/1908_belts.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Various riflemen and cavalrymen too. The sergeant looks a bit pretentious with his waxed moustache, pistol with cross brace and highly polished leather gaiters. Clearly Iiked to style himself to be more like an officer at first glance. 15 hours ago, GWF1967 said: Driver George Beale. A.S.C. a few possible candidates if he served overseas.

What a great job has been done to fashion Charley's seat into a wheelchair, and what care has been taken to keep his injured leg cushioned and warm.

The presence of specifically Labour Corps (later Pioneer Corps) badges date the photo to at least 1918, I would say.

Yes, and also the modified waist belts created from converted shoulder braces. Although perhaps not new when issued to them (there was a refurbishment programme at several ACDs, with rows of women 'repairers' sat at machines), the simplified jackets seem to have continued in service through to the end of the war, especially perhaps at home.

Chef_Hendrix Posted 27 August , 2017 Share Posted 27 August , 2017 (edited) I recently received the postcards below from the Renner, Hall and Benton sides of my family. I am unsure where the last photo came from, it could have come from either the Renner, Benton or Clark(e) side of my family, no one knows! It is not WW1 and is stamped on the back Aug 1940 but i thought it may be of interest to someone. The only members of my family i know who served during WW2 served in the Gordon Highlanders and the F.A.A. Thanks for looking, Gaz Edited 2 January , 2019 by Chef_Hendrix new info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
