Title: Uniform identification
Post by: King Soloman on Saturday 29 August 09 20:24 BST (UK)

This is a photograph of my great grandfather Arthur Henry Moore DOB 22/3/1896.
Can anyone identify his uniform for me please? I have been told that he was an infantry man. He lived in sussex (Newhaven). He was received an injury to his back in the war.
