1918 RAF Officers cap badge
This is 2nd Lt. Frederick Turner, killed in action on 27 September 1918. Puzzled as to the cap badge. He appears to be still wearing his West Yorkshire Regiment cap badge. He had progressed from 8 Officer Cadet Battalion, Lichfield on 10th August 1917, becoming a Commissioned Officer with the Royal Flying Corps on 27th November 1917
Are we assume he was playing fast and loose with dress regulations for this photograph ? The jacket does not appear to be RFC pattern. Rather confusing
