Bingo794 Posted 19 September , 2012 Share Posted 19 September , 2012 Just been handed a couple of photographs from a family in Hull. Couple of smashing studies, one of a very young lad from the area. What unit are the regimental cap badges from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Owl Posted 19 September , 2012 Share Posted 19 September , 2012 Unfortunately these images are far too small for a positive identification--any chance of a close up of the cap badges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Owl Posted 19 September , 2012 Share Posted 19 September , 2012 I would agree, this definitely has the look of the L.F.'s cap badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphjd Posted 19 September , 2012 Share Posted 19 September , 2012 It's not the Northumberland Fusiliers anyway for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo794 Posted 20 September , 2012 Author Share Posted 20 September , 2012 Thats a bit better. The JPEG in properties 'General' settings, changed format to a bitmap opened with Internet Explorer. Sussed-ish! Cheers, Dick W I thought RGA or RA until a closer look......and can just about make out L.F. What about the other one? DW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingo794 Posted 20 September , 2012 Author Share Posted 20 September , 2012 Just noticed the 'baubles' on the shoulders of the LF boy.......Are they a part of his uniform or a part of the seat in the studio? DW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 20 September , 2012 Share Posted 20 September , 2012 The chair, I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingo794 Posted 20 September , 2012 Author Share Posted 20 September , 2012 The chair, I'd say. Thats what I said....the person, who shall remain nameless, and thought they were some type of rank distinction. Just thought Id check before making an uninformed statement Dick HONEST!

Graham Stewart Posted 21 September , 2012 Share Posted 21 September , 2012 I'll have another go now, chaps! Thanks for your efforts and help! The one wearing the GS capbadge is more than likely 'Labour Corps', as opposed to Volunteer Force, which also wore the same capbadge, but you rarely see young lads in the Volunteers wearing it or the lanyard, which I suspect has the clasp knife attached.

FROGSMILE Posted 21 September , 2012 Share Posted 21 September , 2012 I'll have another go now, chaps! Thanks for your efforts and help! Like the other respondees I thinks this one is Lancashire Fusiliers and the other one General Service Corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffsyeoman Posted 3 November , 2012 Share Posted 3 November , 2012 No, not Manchesters. Agree with the flow... GS badge indicating Labour Corps and Lancashire Fusiliers. And yes, the 'baubles' are the knobs from the back of the chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
