My mother-in-law would like to apply for her father's army service records (if they exist), but doesn't know what regiment he served in.

Can anyone help by identifying his uniform and cap?

Many thanks

might be Army Service Corps, with one wound stripe. If you post his name then members of the forum can help more. Surviving WW1 records are available on Ancestry.

He was in the Royal Engineers.

Thanks Michelle,

His name was Norman Bruce and I found a few records under that name on Ancestry.

Another poster suggested the Royal Engineers and 2 of the records found on Ancestry refer to the Royal Engineers. They both show a number 470241 and one shows Reg no 714, the other 3rd Res Btn.

Can you advise further?

Hi the two medal cards are for the same man,have to agree with Wainfleet it is Royal Engineers so looks as if this is your man.
