Thank you to all those that replied to my first query. It allowed me to find the appropriate records.

I now have another query about a first world war cap badge.
The photographs attached are of my grandfather Mark Johnson, who was born in 1876 in Bootham, York, who was a publican before the war living in Ripon. As far as I am aware he was at Ripon camp, but for how long I do not know. I do not think he served overseas, although I am not absolutely sure.
I have a copy of a post card dated 1917 from Newcastle upon Tyne where he is undergoing some medical test, but again I do not know what it was for.
If anybody can identify the cap badge for me it hopefully will unlock details of his war service. 

Thanks in anticipation.
The confused one.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Army cap badge
« on: Sunday 25 August 13 11:17 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

I am researching my family history and have come across a photograph of an ancestor who emigrated to Australia. I have found his Australian military record and this states he served in the Royal Field Artillery in England for 12 years before going to Australia.
The photograph was taken in England between 1901 and 1910, but I can not find a cap badge of the Royal Field Artillery that looks like the one in the photograph.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

The confused one.
