Hello v.Perlet

Thank you so much for your reply

I know my great grandfather definitely served in the A H Corps as we have a medal of his.

But saying that the photo may not be of him

my Grandfather served in the Royal Engineers 8th company 28247. Joined 1894

Could it possibly be him and I have jumped to the conclusion that it is my great grandfather

Regards Cathy

Hello Bayern and v.Perlet

So are you saying that this uniform is not A H Corps or that it maybe 

Regards Cathy

Hello Simon

Thank you so much for trying to help me

The information I have which is on a Medal is:

W Brown  (William) 

A. H. Corps

Number 1562

I found some information on 'find my past' which says he enlisted in 1860

1871 he was in Canada with the Army

1873 he married in Canada

1877 he came home to England

1881 he was in Natal with the Army

1882 he came home To England

I was hoping to verify the uniform so that I would know he is definitely William Brown

I have done loads of googling trying to find this Corps (says is Army Hospital Corps) which seems that later on became  Army Medical Corps. But I cannot find a uniform that looks like this one

Regards Cathy

Hi Simon

Thank you for your reply

I don't seem to be able to get a clear close up of the buttons

I have attached a photo

I am thinking that this maybe my Great Grandfather who was in A. H. Corps

Is this possible

I Recently inherited this photograph and wondered if anyone could identify the uniform

As far as I have found out so far it is British Army and probably around 1880's

Thank you for your time
