Hi all

Here is a photo of one of my paternal grandmother's brothers. The surmane is Manktelow but he could be one of at least four who served from the family. The face shape and eyes are those of Dad's mother!

The only one I know it isn't is William Manktelow who served in the Australian Medical Corps as I have another photo of him. If anyone can tell me who he is/ might be that would be great.

Without going into too much boring detail, I think that they enlisted from NSW.

My question relates to the small ribbon flashes worn on the left shoulder. What are they please?

I've had a couple of suggestions way back but would love some definitive answers.
