Title: Regiment for Oliver Spanswick
Post by: MacGrigor on Wednesday 10 June 20 11:55 BST (UK)

Hello,

Oliver was from Wiltshire, and he was in Iraq in 1944. Beyond that, I don’t know very much about him. Could anyone identify who he was with? Apologies for the poor quality of photo.

I’d appreciate any help!

Cap badge is very blurred but resembles the Green Howards

There may well be other views, my optician is closed!

He was a sergeant, see chevrons on sleeve.
