Identify uniform
Afternoon,
Here's one I have no idea about. Sorry the quality is not crash hot. Is it perhaps a bandsman uniform? Seems to have some sort of frock coat with a high waist belt and lots of stuff on the shoulders. Photographed in Port Elizabeth. Any help appreciated. Last edited by Tony B; 07-05-18 at 06:17 AM. |

Hi Tony
The badges look a bit like Prince Alfred's Guard, which would fit if the picture was taken in PE. Regards Craig |

Band badges
Could he be wearing a generic band cap badge of the types shown below (QVC & KC).
I believe these badges were worn by civilian bands, often formed from musicians with previous military service, and dressed in military style uniforms. Tim
