Thanks Neil

Found this one, on the arm of a female's uniform, which was taken at the same event.  As mentioned earlier, do not have any clearer ones of my grandfather's insignia, although, I can just make out, what appears to be a cross with possible letters on it.

This is the CCG insignia and a picture of a uniform button also.

Thanks for the showing the pics Neil.  Have searched through all the photos I have, but still cannot find any that were taken close enough, to see either the buttons or insignia :(

Just hope the limited information, I have for him, will be enough to trace his Army records.
