alkens Posted 18 October , 2011 Share Posted 18 October , 2011 Here's another relative of mine that served in WW1, could someone shed any light on his regiment, movements, anything really. thanks so much!

alkens Posted 18 October , 2011 Author Share Posted 18 October , 2011 Would I be right by guessing my Webster relative is RFA from Woolwich? I have another relative from my maternal side of the tree, and the badges look identical (too me they do, and I've got dodgy eyes!). See below...for other example Albert Edward Etheridge (my great grand uncle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 18 October , 2011 Share Posted 18 October , 2011 Yes, I would say Artillery - either Horse, Field, or Garrison, as all three badges are indistinguishable from each other. Possibly Regular Army rather than Territorial as the shoulder titles don't look substantial enough to be Territorial titles. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughdiamond Posted 18 October , 2011 Share Posted 18 October , 2011 6 Richard Webster's on the MIC's http://www.nationala...pe=1=* 2 can be discounted right away as one is John W, the other was an Officer, 2 are for the same man with the rank of Bombardier and Acting Sergeant so strike them as he shows no rank in the photo, another for the same reason can go as he was a "Shoeing smith Cpl" later Serjeant. That leaves the most probable 188428 Gunner Richard Webster (if he did serve in a theatre of War). As for Albert Etheridge, I take it this is him? http://www.nationala...1&resultcount=1 Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
