jay dubaya Posted 9 December , 2018 Share Posted 9 December , 2018 I'll second that and add dressed for mounted duties, also there appears to be a lot of brass on his shoulder, possible TF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FROGSMILE Posted 11 December , 2018 Share Posted 11 December , 2018 (edited) I concur Essex Regiment too. He's wearing a simplified jacket (whose extra deep chest pockets show very clearly here) and a 1905 pattern SD cap, so it's very likely early on in the war.

George Rayner Posted 9 January , 2019 Author Share Posted 9 January , 2019 Thank you for that. Not certain where that puts him! Will re-group and post additional info George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Rayner Posted 9 January , 2019 Author Share Posted 9 January , 2019 Following on. He is supposed to be Henry Butcher Service No: 18439 Age: 20 Regiment/Service: East Yorkshire Regiment, 1st/4th Bn died 1918 as POW If the uniform is Essex it's not Henry...must ask about certainty of uniform ident I'm afraid to say. Apologies! George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay dubaya Posted 9 January , 2019 Share Posted 9 January , 2019 Definitely not an East Yorkshire cap badge, Henry’s entry in SDGW shows a previous number of 19758 Yorkshire Rgt, it’s not their cap badge either. Victory and BWM rolls add 1st and 12th Bns East Yorkshire Rgt. Service papers mention no connection to Essex Rgt and I’ll stand by that being and Essex Rgt badge in the above image J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
