johntaylor Posted 9 December , 2010 Share Posted 9 December , 2010 I'm confident that one of the Pals will be able to identify the cap badge worn by this unidentified soldier. My best guess was Army Service Corps (with royal cipher) but I look forward to being corrected. Thanks for any help, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Broomfield Posted 9 December , 2010 Share Posted 9 December , 2010 It sort of looks inter-war to me, so possibly Royal Army Service Corps (post-1919). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johntaylor Posted 9 December , 2010 Author Share Posted 9 December , 2010 I agree, it has that feel about it. Unfortunately it's one of those pictures that turns up in an album with no clues as to the identity, relationship etc. Best wishes, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffsyeoman Posted 9 December , 2010 Share Posted 9 December , 2010 That is the cypher of King George VI in the centre (GVIR) so is post 1936 and most likely WW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FROGSMILE Posted 9 December , 2010 Share Posted 9 December , 2010 That is the cypher of King George VI in the centre (GVIR) so is post 1936 and most likely WW2. Definitely RASC and he is also wearing the post WW1 pattern, double breasted greatcoat and a 'set up' SD cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
