Title: Help in identifying British army unit.
Post by: Pete A on Saturday 02 July 22 16:05 BST (UK)

My uncle (shown in the attached photo) served through ww2 and is reputed to have been in a tank unit that took part in the final years from Normandy to Germany.

My uncle is deceased and I have no information other than the photograph and his name William Armstrong.

He lived  in Dumfriesshire Scotland.  The cap badge does bear a resemblance to the kings own border regiment in an image I downloaded (attached)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Pete

Pete,

Although the image is a bit blurred the beret badge strongly resembles that of the Inns of Court Regiment, an armoured car unit that served in NW Europe in 1944/45.
