Mike_H Posted 29 November , 2012 Share Posted 29 November , 2012 Catherine, It is Irish Army full dress between 1935 & 1955, not sure of rank but the crossed rifles on the collar are probably for an infantry unit. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catwat Posted 30 November , 2012 Author Share Posted 30 November , 2012 Thanks Mike and Wexflyer, This is a great help to me. I was led to believe that it was British Army. Do you know if any service records exist for such a man and if so where would they be held ? Regards Catherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
