Hi,
Please can anybody help identify the uniform worn in this photograph. It is suppose to be a picture of my GGGGrandfather who was in the Navy but my mum and I now think it may be an army uniform from the Boer war.
Any help will be gratefully received.
Thanks
Louise

Louise,
He's a Marine in the Royal Marine Light Infantry, the photograph is circa mid-1880's to early 1890's.
Regards,
Isandlwana
