Default What regiment was this sergeant in?
This soldier was photographed in a studio in Aldershot in 1919. Can anyone identify the full title of his rank and what regiment he belonged too from the insignia above his stripes? It looks like Prince of Wales feathers with crossed swords above. There are some letters on his epaulette too the last letter looks like a C.

The complete picture would be nice rather than just his arm.

The crossed swords are for best swordsman or instructor.

Thanks for the information. I can see that the last letter in the photo could be a G.
