Help in Date and Regt needed
« on: Tuesday 23 October 12 17:09 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone
My Grandad was born in 1904, which would make him to young for the first War, Could anyone tell me a date on the picture and what regiment he could be in, He looks very young, under 20

Thanks for your time

John

Good evening,

Given his date of birth I would say between 1920-1925. But could be a bit later if he was always young looking. As far as regt goes it is almost impossible to say given the blurred cap badge. If possible rescan just the badge at a higher resolution and we may be able to help.
