Title: Badge identification
Post by: iian on Sunday 10 January 10 17:55 GMT (UK)

Hi,
a photo of my grandfather and his brother taken during the first world war.

My grandfather is in uniform on the left but i'm keen to identify the badge as worn by his younger brother beside him.
His brother died in 1918 from Influenza, aged 18, so not long after this photo was taken and he was in the Merchent navy. They were both born in Ipswich.

Any info about the photo would be appreciated but in particular the badge.

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian...you might be better off posting this on the Armed Forces board:

Yes, and also if you could do a separate high-resolution scan (600dpi or more) of just the badge, as it kind of fades at the edge of the photo.

If you need help, feel free to PM someone.

Cheers,
China
