Uniform help please - Royal Artillery?

[RJones]

Just received the below postcard photograph, which has what looks like the name 'John Ramage' in pencil on the back. Previous owner believes he may be Royal Artillery, but as I know nothing about uniforms I'd be grateful for some advice.

John Ramage

Many thanks.

Definitely Royal Artillery probably Royal Field Artillery and there are six possible candidates if he served overseas.

Ramage, John L Corps: Royal Field Artillery Regiment No: 167334 Rank: Gunner

Ramage, John Corps: Royal Garrison Artillery Regiment No: 300420 Rank: Driver

Ramage, John Corps: Royal Garrison Artillery Regiment No: 2269 Rank: Gunner

Ramage, John Corps: Royal Field Artillery Regiment No: 143573 Rank: Gunner...

Ramage, John Corps: Royal Garrison Artillery Regiment No: 175454 Rank: Gunner

Ramage, John B Corps: Royal Field Artillery Regiment No: 30 Rank: Gunner...

[RJones]

That's great, thank you so much!

I note that he's wearing spurs. Would this make him a Driver? Or did all men of the RA wear them?

Found a John Ramage on Ancestry's recruitment and enlistment records (99283) who was from Roxburgh and in the Field Artillery. Discharged after 9 days as being unsuitable (para 392 - "not likely to become an efficient soldier.") . He was a blacksmith, 'specially enlisted as a shoeing smith'. Could the spurs relate to horses instead?

167334 listed above was "RH & RFA". RFA I get, but RH....?

RH - Royal Horse (Artillery). All mounted troops wore spurs. Any other markings on the reverse of the card?

Nothing at all, just the name...
