This is very interesting. I note in the wedding photo that he is wearing a best shot or marksman instructor badge on the lower right arm, which I find confusing. Was he both a marksman and Phys. training instructor at the same time?
I love those large Guards rank badges. Here is mine, which I picked up here in the States for a measly 20 Dollars. I believe it is roughly 1940's era, but would be very similar to those he is wearing on his service dress.
My poor photography does not capture the heavily padded 3D effect very well.
