Title: Can anyone please identify this uniform?
Post by: aitch on Friday 15 November 24 17:41 GMT (UK)
Is anyone able to identify this uniform please?  Could have been Royal Artillery but really don't know for sure.  He lived near Folkestone.  There was an army barracks at Cheriton, so may have been based there?
TIA

Royal Artillery had a white lanyard

There are no unit or regimental identifying marks.  The bandolier means he is working with horses but that does not narrow it down.  Yes the RA wore a white lanyard in between the wars but lots of other regiments wore lanyards too.

Many thanks for your responses @alan o and @Philip.  Maybe just not enough info in the photo, but it was worth a shot.
Much appreciate your input
