Hi

Would any body know the regiment?  and any information on medals would be really appericated.

Thanks

Keith,

 

A bit late I'm afraid but I believe the medals represented are The Distinguished Service Order, Queens South Africa Medal with five bars and The King's South Africa Medal with the usual two bars.

Collar badge looks similar to the Ox & Bucks Light Infantry.

Assuming his DSO was awarded for service in the Boer War he will hopefully be listed here

You may wish to go through these looking at any Light Infantry Regiment recipients and hopefully find a match and confirm his identity.

Hi Gents,

it always strikes me as odd when people ask a question then don’t come back for the answer…

 

 

This however gives me the excuse to post a picture of an similar Ox & Bucks tunic (1 of 3) I have, their facings are white not red…

 

 

 

 

Gents, does that red collar in his picture  look right to you? Doesn’t to me. I haven’t looked but is a red collar even ‘a thing’ by Edwardian times??

 

I wonder if the picture was colourised?

Tony,

The photo does appear to be colourized.  The medals would appear to be a DSO, QSA and KSA, as said above, but totally the wrong colurs for the ribbons for those medals.

Regards,

Gordon

Going by the buttons I would say Durham Light Infantry and if so the facings should be dark green.        Pete.
