Cap Badge for identification
Hi Guys, new here so don't beat me up if this is in wrong place! Attached pic is my great uncle Harry, WW2. Not the best of pics but anyone got a clue as to the regiment or corps here?

Neil
He is WW2 Royal Artillery.- no Tony is right he is RAMC with a shiny chinstrap! His rank is Corporal and is wearing early war uniform of a design worn circa 1940. Last edited by Alan O; 22-01-21 at 04:06 PM. Reason: correction |

Royal Army Medical Corps.....I think the look of a RA cap badge is caused by light reflecting off chin strap!

I'm not certain that it is Royal Artillery, I think what you are seeing as the bottom scroll is actually a reflection from the polished chinstrap. I think it looks more like Royal Signals to me....

I hadn’t seen your reply (started typing and made a cuppa). I was suggesting the same as you.
Great minds think alike! |

But we have a book on fluid dynamics in which he has written
Cpl H M Smith Hydrographic section. Hydrography is mapping of seas etc. SO not sure it would be medical? |

That would be map making so I would expect Royal Engineers.

Thing is it does look like a RAMC badge. But why would he have a book on fluid dynamics and put his name and rank in it unless it was associated to his military role? Even to put hydrographic section.
I need to spring his records i think. |
