I thought Stretcher Bearer (I think I'd be pushing things too far to say RN Shore Patrol at Gallipoli).
Looks like a dog tag tied to his braces. It's a pity that helmet flash isn't more visible. I have photos somewhere of Garrison Police GP etc worn on the left lower arm, could this be Stores Police? Last edited by leigh kitchen; 28-09-17 at 06:59 AM.

Hi JT,
Could that be a Middlesex Regt Flash I see ? I've got a picture of the 1st Batt, a group picture looking very much the same as this chap, I'll see if I can dig it out, sorry cant help on the arm band  Gerard

Hard to say isn't it, looks like a square or rectangle, a vertical strip followed by a lighter coloured one.......

Just looked at the album section and have seen all the other pics related to the pic you show, it's not Middlesex as I can see some other flashes, RA possibility ? Gerard

Thanks blokes. I should have thought to include some other shots of the bigger picture (apologies):
I wasn't sure of the partially obscured letter on the band, so refrained from assuming Stretcher Bearer - plus that seemed a little incongruous with the scene as it's presented to us. Unless he knows something about the food being prepared that we don't! Our armband-wearer is not a 'Spud Peeler'  , as he's obviously left that particular pleasure to matey here:Definitely a bit of grub on the way, though nobody seems to be in a particular hurry to eat. I reckon this is a local council pals battalion... one working, a dozen watching! Wondering now if this was perhaps a specialist unit sent out into the field to begin trials on the newly conceived art of camouflage warfare... ... a bit of fine tuning still required here and there .Thanks for your replies, gents. Always appreciated. JT Last edited by Jelly Terror; 28-09-17 at 12:44 PM.
