Which regiment is featured in this next photo?

[sutton-in-craven]

Hi, this photo came from a relative of 40902 Pte Albert Akrigg who joined the Sherwood Foresters (Nott's Derby regt) around Sept 1916.

By January 1917 he had been transferred to the Norfolk Reg't

This shot looks like a group of war weary soldiers. I'm wondering which regiment it is and what the relationship to Albert Akrigg may have been?

Many thanks for any help or suggestions, regards Andrew

Morning

Took the liberty

seated right has a shoulder badge which looks a bit more like RGA than RFA, but you may be able to see better. They look hungry - with impressively large spoons

Thanks very much everybody for your comments and for clarifying that the group photo represents the artillery, much appreciated.

Regards Andrew

Can you blow up the shoulder title? The bloke in the middle looks to be a farrier (horseshoe badge).

HI Blackblue, here's a closer shot of the chap in the middle. Thanks for taking an interest :-)

[Blackblue]

Cheers mate. We are talking about the middle row far right with shoulder title visible.

[sutton-in-craven]

Ah, sorry 'bout that! here we go.....

[Blackblue]

Mmmm. Hard to say...either RFA or RGA.

The 1901 Census has brothers Robert, Harry and Horace. Harry Akrigg appears to have served with 2/2nd West Riding Bde, Royal Field Artillery number 2539 (not Royal Fusiliers) and then 62nd Division ammunition column number 1017. He has pension papers and his NOK is confirmed (same as Census) as father Benjamin. He was discharged unfit and does not appear to have served OS. He may well be in this photo....
