Default Welsh Guards cpl Betteridge's sqd April 1940

Lovely sharp image which I have had to shrink and crop to post here.

Of interest is the use of what appears to be WWI type trench caps with the stitched peaks, not something I remember seeing previously for this date, though use of old stock at a time of shortages probably explains it.

This came from a seller local to me and has a name and address in Wales on the reverse also annotated 3/9 perhaps for 3 of 9 or maybe the date, 3rd September.
