Andrew Upton Posted 23 December , 2012 Share Posted 23 December , 2012 Uniform is of an Officer, a Second Lieutenant (from his "cuff rank", one pip and one horizontal row of braid). He has two blue overseas service chevrons visible over the braid on his right cuff (these were only introduced in 1918, and show at the time of the picture he had accumulated over 1 and less than 2 years service overseas. There was a red one for those who first served overseas in 1914, but this isn't the case here). From what is visible of his cap and collar badges ASC does look likely.
