'H' in Hadfield looks very dissimilar, as does the 'ey' in Surrey, although the smudge doesn't help at all. My guess is *eahs or *eaks if the rest of his handwriting is anything to go by. /Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturmmann1918 Posted 17 January , 2018 Share Posted 17 January , 2018 Picked this one up at a postcard show this weekend. Can anyone let me know about the man in the center? I'm not too familiar with British uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All officers and men seem to wear RAMC cap badges. The officer in the middle wears a lighter colour service dress but with the normal cuff rank badges like his colleagues. He is the only one with ribbons, perhaps a South Africa veteran ? Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muerrisch Posted 21 January , 2018 Share Posted 21 January , 2018 1 hour ago, mark holden said: Company Signaller unknown regiment. Thank you. Once again we have the signaller badge deemed insufficient for recognition on active service. Pity this is not in colour, because I have a feeling that some units used each a different colour armband per company. Of course the universal armband for RE sigs was blue/white, but this example is monocolour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
