Uniform ID Please
Can anyone ID my Australian relaitve's uniform, please?
He was born in 1862, so I would imagine this photo dates anywhere from about the 1880s onwards (???) Thomas Charles Jones, lived in the Mulwala area of NSW - any help very much appreciated. Cheers, Peter. TCJ.jpg |

Mounted police, I should think.

Thanks for this, Lettman.
Since reading your reply, I have tried to find images online of Australian Mounted Police, to compare Charles' uniform with, but have had no success. Don't suppose you have any, at all? Many thanks, Peter. |

Hi Peter,
I'll have a look around -- I'm sure there's something out there. But also remember there would be no such thing as the Australian Mounted Police; all police forces were state-based, and still are even after federation in 1901. So you'd have to look for, say, NSW Mounted Police, or Victorian, Queensland, or whichever. |

Here's a resource for the NSW Mounted Police; it may lead to some photos:
