Title: Crest on Royal Irish Regiment WW1 photo
Post by: leemeetee on Sunday 19 January 25 08:47 GMT (UK)

This studio photo is that of a private in the Royal Irish Regiment.

1. Would anyone know if there is any significance to the tent-type background?

2. He seems to be carrying a cane  - would this have been normal for a private or would it have had a significance or would it merely have been a prop?

3. I have never seen the logo / crest shown on his left sleeve (is it crossed flags??) Would this have had any significance?
