Title: Which uniform is this?
Post by: purple frog on Thursday 05 October 06 22:33 BST (UK)

Hi everyone,
Can you help me identify this uniform and period. I am guessing it is WW2 but have no idea of the uniform. He is my gt aunt 's cousin and she is 92!

Can you blow up the sleeve badge more clearly. It looks like 25 but that does'nt make sense. It's a specialist badge. Admin. rather than fighting or sailing crew. It may be WWII or even after.

The cap badge looks as though it might be for a Petty Officer, the OS is for an Officer's Steward.

Hi,

Bill is correct, photo taken sometime during WW11, I would think.
