Ivatt Posted 6 August , 2006 Share Posted 6 August , 2006 Hello All, I have just been given a picture of my great grandfather in uniform. I cannot work out what he did in the war or where he fought. If any one recognises the cap badge and can shed some light on his regiment and it's history I would be very grateful. Many Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfh249 Posted 6 August , 2006 Share Posted 6 August , 2006 It's the Royal Artillery. Check out the mother site for some background http://www.1914-1918.net/cra.htm Regards, Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
