HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 11 August , 2006 Share Posted 11 August , 2006 Those with badges that can be seen appear to be Royal Engineers. The Lady wearing the Honiton lace Collar seems to be wearing a Sweetheart Brooch,possibly RE or even ASC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gporta Posted 11 August , 2006 Share Posted 11 August , 2006 The moustached soldier with a lanyard in his jacket surrounded by family wears an "utility" SD jacket, so possibly he is a per-1916 volunteer (though I bet you must have figured it already). Something that makes me curious, though, are the medalions he wears in his pocket: they seem to me like the gilded baptism medalions which we wear -or rather, used to wear- here, usually with an image of the Virgin or JC (or both, one in either side). The two ladies likewise wear similar-looking medalions: Catholics? (please excuse me as the items may not have any religious connotation) Gloria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Watch Posted 12 August , 2006 Share Posted 12 August , 2006 No idea about uniforms, but I reckon the sergeant in pic 2 (bottom left) must have been in the masons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
