Just a thought, how about taking a link to this thread over to the Armed Forces section, they have some pretty smart chaps over there.

Copy the URL at the top of your browser, go to the Armed Forces part and open a new topic, say "Oi, 'ow's about 'aving a butcher's over 'ere" (or something like that ;D) and post the link :D

I'm not a navy man, but surely only someone in the RN could have a White Ensign on their cap?

Sent the group pic to OH, and he says:

Post WWII (Gold wire cap tallies), pre 65 No4 Mk1s not L1A1s [Enfield rifles], from the badges on the sleeves, they look like a bunch of stokers.

Now I am completely mystified!  Why would his mother have kept it so safe.   Still don't know date of man in official portrait or badge so please keep trying everyone.  Thanks
