Markgraf Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 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!
Craig Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 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? Craig

I suggest re-posting on the UK Military section of the site. Dave.
Officer of Artillery Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 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!

leigh kitchen Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Yep, looks like RAMC - perhaps a hospital in the background? Only one I can remember is the naval hospital and as I only ever went near it on enforced fitness runs I was too distracted by pain to admire the architecture.
Ciderlion Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Photo looks like it may have been taken at the old Naval Hospital in Gibraltar. I was in the Gibraltar Police 81-93
Mervyn Mitton Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Ciderlion - welcome to GMIC. Nice to see identification on this old post. Gibralter is always of interest - please tell us something about your service there ? Mervyn
