Guest Posted 18 August , 2019 Share Posted 18 August , 2019 A first world war photo in a family album. Royal engineers cap badge. An arm band of white and probably blue stripe. I have found a very similar one on the internet and it is blue and white. The photo is cut off so no triangle would be visible. I don't know his identity. any information gratefully received. What does the arm band signify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FROGSMILE Posted 18 August , 2019 Share Posted 18 August , 2019 (edited) I agree that it seems to be the arm band signifying a member of the Signal Service of the Corps of Royal Engineers. Edited 18 August , 2019 by FROGSMILE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteStarLine Posted 19 August , 2019 Share Posted 19 August , 2019 Hi Allibags and welcome to the forum. My grandfather, a Signal Engineer, had this photo taken by the London Portrait Company and it shows the armband we suspect you are referring to. Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
