n_mtk Posted 9 July , 2014 Share Posted 9 July , 2014 Doing a quick bit of research into workers from Dick Kerrs munitions factory in Preston who went to war. I've come across the following photo which family think is Air Mechanic Class 2 Robert Castor Gregory who served in the Loyal North Lancs and then the Royal Flying Corps. Have Medal Index Card and CWGC details, plus some family tree info off Ancestry. I'm a bit stuck on the photo though, in terms of trying to determine if it is the person in question. The cap badge isn't LNL or anything I recognise as being RFC. I can't ID the collar badges and there appears to be rather a lot on the epaulettes! Can anyone assist please?

Blackblue Posted 9 July , 2014 Share Posted 9 July , 2014 I think he a Corporal is the 4th (TF) Battalion, Cheshire Regiment post WW1. Collars and hat badge appear to be Cheshires post WW1 and shoulder titles appear to be 4 T over curved title. Rgds Tim D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FROGSMILE Posted 9 July , 2014 Share Posted 9 July , 2014 Tim has it spot on. The soldier is from the Cheshire Regiment in the post WW1 cap badge. The collar badges are acorns with leaves. Shoulder title T-4-CHESHIRE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
