Title: WW1 soldier identification
Post by: alison300 on Wednesday 05 March 25 19:34 GMT (UK)

Bit of a long shot as quality not great but can anyone help me with regiment? I'm assuming this is an officer?

Possibly an Officer Cadet?

Agree Officer Cadet.
The cap badge could be that of an Officer Cadet Btn. or his
original Regt. as he would have been drawn from the ranks.

Hi - I posted this for another family history society member.  She has a name (Dudley Black) but all the potential matches we've found are too young.  Her gt-aunt was engaged to this man and she was born in 1874.  I've come to the conclusion now that Dudley was a middle name :(
