Title: Date and colour my great-grandad
Post by: Malton Seadog on Monday 03 September 12 10:41 BST (UK)

Hi all,

This is my great-grandad, who lived 1878-1928.

Assuming this is a military photograph, do you think it could be linked to one conflict in particular?

He would have been 36-40 during WWI, so this looks like it could be it.

Can you identify which forces he was in from the photo, and which rank?

Edit: found out he was with the Wolds Waggoners Special Reserves! Very interesting: "The Waggoners' Reserve was a volunteer corps of 1,000 local farmworkers who used horse drawn wagons taking supplies to the trenches in WW1."

Finally - could you please add some colour to him if the photo is not too small.

I'm afraid this is the biggest file I have of him.

Many thanks!
