DATE? MILITARY UNIFORM? by Lambert, Parsonstown (Birr), Kings County (Offaly)
« on: Wednesday 30 April 14 14:27 BST (UK) »
I think this is Robert Sheppard, Lance Corporal in the Irish Guards, killed at the battle of Festubert in May 1915 but i would welcome any observations re dates or uniforms please
Just to add, The Leinster Regiment was based in Birr (Crinkle Barracks) until 1920s

Looks 1880's but ditto above.
Not Irish Guards as they had a 4 button sequence.

Could be the Leinster Regiment c1900. Disbanded 1922. Badges indistinct but about the right shape.

Good evening,

I don't like to be picky Jim but that says "The Hertfordshire Regiment" around those badges. It does look very similar to that in the photo though.
