A very good friend gave me this belt today. He believes his wife's grandfather put it together. If so the veteran served on the Somme.
It is a bit of a mystery in that to my uneducated eyes the belt appears to have an Irish connection. Could it represent service in Ireland?
Can anyone please assist with a potential date of the belt itself and units represented? ... thank you.
Some items relate to Royal Welsh / Welch Fusiliers. I am not sure if the Regiment served there during the uprising.
Any help appreciated
Mike
