Please can you work your magic on this photo please? This young man in the Worcestershire Regiment had added 2 years onto his age so was only 18 when this was taken.

This is the only photo of him in uniform. He is now in his 80s and would be delighted to have a photo good enough to frame.

Sorry to spoil things...

He's not a Woofer...He's in the Royal Artillery!! 

The shoulder titles say RA, and the collar dogs are flaming grenades/bombs with "Ubique" below...

From 1939/early 1940!

Also has a 1908 ptn belt on...

Was he TA?

Thank you Scrimnet your help is appreciated. I have seen other posts you have written and your military knowledge is amazing.

I have spoken to the subject of the photograph again. He says when he joined the TA he added 2 years onto his age. He was in the 10th Worcestershire regiment. He was born in Feb 1922. He is sure that this photo was taken in late 1939 or early 1940 when he was around 18, which is what you say.

His travels abroad began on D day and he spent time in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. Unfortunately he has no photographic record of these later years when he had transferred to the 12th Corps Assault Troops 93rd LAA (hope I have got this right)

Thank you for your expert help

Thank you Charles, Iria, Irene and Dave for your work on my 2nd World War photograph. He will be pleased to see these. It's the only photograph of him with a complete head of hair. He blames the hair loss on the helmet he had to wear during the war!
