john j Posted 14 January , 2020 Share Posted 14 January , 2020 I am helping a person identify ancestors form a group of old (unlabeled of course) family photos she inherited form her aunt. She is unsure if this person is her Grandfather or Great Grandfather. Based on the uniform I believe him to be WWI. Lastly, is there anything else you can say about the uniform that might help pin down who he is and most importantly is anyone able to identify his unit based on his cap badge as I have had no luck with google thus far. Many thanks, jjj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sepoy Posted 14 January , 2020 Share Posted 14 January , 2020 Army Service Corps! The cap badge has been shaped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 14 January , 2020 Share Posted 14 January , 2020 Wasn't this picture posted recently? Consensus was Army Service Corps but a strange distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 14 January , 2020 Share Posted 14 January , 2020 How curious. The enlarged image looks far less like an ASC badge than the small one. There's no evidence of a central roundel in this one??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The badge is highly polished and there’s a lot of reflection, but personally I’m confident that it is an ASC badge that’s been bent to curve backwards at the West and East points.
