The Photo is definately after Jan 1918 as the overseas chevrons werent introduced to uniforms til then.
If you post the MIC ill have a go at translating it for you.

Back to the glove for a minute -is the point that he isn't wearing one on his left hand, but that he is wearing a ring on his wedding finger - was the pic taken when he got engaged/married by any chance?

hiya joe,before you download the medal card,have a word with monsstar [roy]hes a pal of mine and hes a researcher at kew,charles frederick verity of beeston rd,leeds,was in the rifle brigade,in 1918 he was stationed at northants,his army number was 160577,theres no man called verity with this number in the medal cards,its very likely he didnt serve overseas with this number,so it wont show up in the medal rolls,i could be wrong,but it looks like a bad shadow not a glove,if his service record has survived,roy will find it.

Hi

Maggott - doubt very much it was a marriage or engagement, married in 1907

Manmack, many thanks for your information - I have 2 Charles Frederick Verity's in my family tree, both born within a year of each other and both from Leeds, it caused a bit of confusion at first, and I think/presume that they both served time in the Army, but..... which one served in which regiment, I have not got a clue
