Could anyone please identify this capbadge please.

Hi

Is the shoulder badge RFA ? if so the cap badge could be Royal Field Artillery.

Agree RFA [or RHA/RGA depending on shoulder title]. Interesting positioning of chinstrap, and quite a 'tache.

Here is a link to some RFA badges on Ebay

Hi

Thanks for the reply. Looking under the magnifying glass it certainly looks like RFA on his shoulder.

Thanks

Thanks for the picture.

This confirms a picture of a marriage I have.

He married in 1916 and was killed in March of 1917.

And to help clarify things for Mike, its worthwhile noting that the cap badge worn by all members of the regular Artillery (RHA, RFA, RGA) was the field gun illustrated, the specific unit distinguished, as noted, by the specific shoulder title. Territorial gunners wore the same basic badge - but with different wording for some units, and the absence of the 'ubique' honour. The shoulder titles would be distinctive as well, incorporating a T and usually a region.

Cheers
