leigh kitchen Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Could you add some close ups of the insignia in both photos please? The top photo looks like 3rd Kings Own Hussars, the bottom photo Yorkshire Dragoons. Edited January 26, 2009 by leigh kitchen
zander Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Hi Leigh The pictures are from a scan i have tried to enhance them but they are to blurred, Cheers steve
leigh kitchen Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Well, the first photo could very well be the 3rd KOH's "running horse" above name scroll badge, the second photo looks like Yorkshire Dragoons, grandad's been promoted, the other man's wearing ribbons so it's probably post WWI, presumably grandads left the Regular army & joined the TF Yeomanry. For some reason he's wearing no WWI medal ribbons, perhaps he served between the two World Wars?
