Hi everyone,

I found this photo in a box in the attic I dont have many ideas who this gentleman is or what he's doing in my attic. Can anyone shed any light on his regiment or details? I think his last name might be Leek

Many Thanks

He could be in the Queens Bays

I'm with you on this one, why would the tank corps wear spurs? But then i guess even they had mounted duties, anyway definately Queen's Bays, Jon :D

I go with Queens Bays I can't spot any script at bottom of the wreath that would support Tank Corps

John Leek, that could be right I've spoken to a Family member, we had a Jack leek, born in Albrighton, Shropshire in 1890. Apparently his full name was John Edward Leek. Many thanks.

Cant seem to find out what happened to him, I hope he made it!
