WW1 Army Uniform
« on: Wednesday 20 January 10 20:54 GMT (UK) »
Hi. Please be patient with me, first time user! The attached photograph is of my Grandfather taken about 1915. Please could anyone identify the Regiment he was in. He was born and brought up in Manchester if it's any help. Thank you

Hi Peter and welcome to rootschat and the armed forces board.

Your grandfather appears to have served in the 7btn Lancashire Fusiliers. Hope this helps. What was your grandfathers name by the way.

Hi Old Rowley. Thank you for the Regiment's name. His name was Arthur Halliwell. Peter
