Date - Military Pic
« on: Monday 30 January 12 23:08 GMT (UK) »
Do the uniforms in this photo look like WWI?
I know the first gentleman in the photo is a relative of mine, my grandfathers brother, but don't know his name.

Any input on date, uniform, country it might be would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know much about uniforms but have seen a photo of Polish soldiers circa WWI with similar collars.

I've posted a link on the armed forces board,someone there will know for sure.

I think the link is quite correct...good spot
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
