    I bought this photo here in Hungary. On the back can be read the following inscription: Gibraltár 1938 IV. 12. (According the spelling the photographer was Hungarian.)

    I would be happy for any further information!

    Im not sure but I don't think he is a Policeman. He is not wearing a whistle chain from his button to his pocket and he has no Divisional numbers on his shoulder. The corporal stripes which could be for Acting Police Sergeant look far to big. A wild guess but I think he is a Royal Marine?

    I agree totally. He is not a Police Officer. The collar badges are not Royal Marine's so another regiment but don't know which. I suggest re-posting on the UK Military section of the site.

    The badges look like Royal Army Medical Corps or possibly a Yeomanry Regiment, shame he's not wearing a hat, that would ease ID'ing!

    Officer of Artillery: :) Yes probably a RAMC Corporal.

    The full picture:
