Guys

Any help in recognition of uniform/Rank insignia much appreciated

Stab in the Dark. OTC or Yeomanry. No medals, elderly man, Look like RAF rank markings?

Buttons look period

Great picture.

As in the other thread, I'd fancy VTC - the sleeve bars indicating, IIRC, something like Sgt. Major.

Cheers,

He is a member of the Volunteer Training Corps holding the rank of "Section Commander" (equivalent to Sgt)(I may be wrong on the rank because I recently lost my notes in a computer crash!)

Unfortunately, I am not near my copy of King and Kipling to check out the cap badge. His rifle is interesting and may be a Japanese Arisaka or a Boer Mauser with bolt handle sticking out, but someone will probably correct me!

Cheers

If Sepoy doesn't get there first, I'll have a look this evening in the book I always call "Kipling & King" (but then my wife tells me off for referring to pepper and salt rather than salt and pepper )

Not much success, I'm afraid. The only outside option is 1692 in K&K: the Todmorden VTC, but it's a long shot. I can't honestly see any others which jump out at me.
