kenaldis Posted 30 June , 2007 Share Posted 30 June , 2007 I would be grateful for any info regarding the attached photo. It was found in an autograph album that had belonged to my late Father-in-Law, he had aquired it from his Aunt who had worked at Hounslow Barracks during the First World War, any info regarding Rank & unit if at all known would be grateful Regards Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMurphy Posted 1 July , 2007 Share Posted 1 July , 2007 Sorry, I don't understand that remark! Ken Not sure I get it either Ken...! I do see the picture though, can you zoom in on his ribbons, shoulders and cap. May give us a better look and a few clues. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marina Posted 1 July , 2007 Share Posted 1 July , 2007 I see it too. Marina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted 1 July , 2007 Share Posted 1 July , 2007 Looks to be Royal Flying Corps, Infantry cap badge and one rank badge on shoulder so possibly a Major if the ribbons bear up to scrutiny. Can you do a close up on ribbons and cap badge. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenaldis Posted 1 July , 2007 Author Share Posted 1 July , 2007 Hi everyone, I am trying to enlarge it but being of the older generation I am somewhat computer illiterate. I am waiting for my son to stir from his pit and then see if he can do it for me, have patience I am sure I'll get there Regards Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centurion Posted 1 July , 2007 Share Posted 1 July , 2007 Sorry, I don't understand that remark! Ken You seem to have had several attempts (which now seem to have vanished) at posting the photo and I picked up before you'd finished. I can see it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted 1 July , 2007 Share Posted 1 July , 2007 Is that a Rhodesian cap badge (Springbok head) and that looks to be a DFC ribbon. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted 6 September , 2007 Share Posted 6 September , 2007 Bump. I think it is Rhodesian and there is a DFC and the other could be a 14-15 Star which I havn't a clue. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timhog Posted 11 September , 2007 Share Posted 11 September , 2007 Hi. I think that the man is South African Infantry. Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin Posted 11 September , 2007 Share Posted 11 September , 2007 The man is wearing a khaki tie, which perhaps suggests that the photo was taken prior to, or shortly after, the formation of the RAF, when black ties became the regulation wear.
