Unknown stripes any ideas on his right sleeve ??

Thanks Rob

On the left sleeve? Chevrons indicating length of service and vertical strip indicating wounded.

Yes right on the left so not O/S stripes but years in the army??

Yes, one chevron for a certain period of service, (a year or two) which I can't remember and which varied over time.
Somebody will be able to say.

From the photo the large inverted chevrons are Good Conduct stripes, just above a vertical metal Wound Stripe.

Smaller inverted chevrons on the right arm are Service stripes

I am just doing the rounds from some relatives Service Records.
