There are four very good dating clues in British Great War era photos, as most will know.
1. The economy/emergency jacket says "early war" but not Old Contemptibles.
2. The wound badge says after July 1916
3. The overseas chevrons say after end 1917
4. The various medal ribbons say "after promulgation" and, for the 1914 star "soon after".
Several appointment badges also are useful, bomber and TMB grenades for example.
