John,
that makes sense as in the other photograph that I have of him he is aboard a battleship. The confusion arises because I bought a box of photographs from a house clearance and I am attempting to put them into context. I have identified the original owner who was a Captain in the Royal Artillery who served in India and Burma. The back of the second photograph says, "all of our Indian telegraphists". So two photographs one aboard ship and one clearly ashore.
The other point that I have noticed that his sleeve badge is not that of a R.N. Telegraphist.
I wonder if the photographs were taken during the Ramree landings in 1945
Simon.
