Sparky53 Posted 31 January , 2006 Share Posted 31 January , 2006 A genealogy friend was told this was George Hallam N Staffs regt. and wondered if the sign was a red herring. My inexpert eye can see it isn't a N Staffs soldier but wondered if anyone could identify the regiment Thank you Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 31 January , 2006 Share Posted 31 January , 2006 He looks like Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire Rgt to me & the sign behind his Shoulder does say 12th Sherwood Foresters!!! Have you checked Hallam's MiC to see if he served in both?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky53 Posted 31 January , 2006 Author Share Posted 31 January , 2006 I'll have to wait till I'm at the Archive as there are 64 George Hallams on Docs online Several North Staffs and Notts & Derbys Cheers Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Hesketh Posted 31 January , 2006 Share Posted 31 January , 2006 The cap badge is Notts & Derby. The wry sign (Tailor's Shop) matches beautifully with the 12th battalion, the producers of the incomparable 'Wipers Times' and associated titles.
