Title: Unknown Uniform
Post by: wenfri on Thursday 13 January 11 19:30 GMT (UK)
I have a photo in my possesion and have no idea where it is from.

Any suggestions or ideas??

http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z...leDave1975.jpg

On the back it reads

Uncle Dave 1975

The bottom inscription reads

J W Trussler
Goderich
Canada

Goderich is in Ontario

Any help would be greatly appreciated

The cap badge looks like a 1915 General List badge.

Good hunting.

Wendy....youll be able to find and view  his attestation forms online on the above link if you have a surname
Also be able to send off for his record.

Yes that is what I thought as well

Any idea where I can view the whole uniform they wore at that time??

Good idea. Although I am not sure of his last name but have a good hunch.

Thanks
