4001 WO1 George Arthur Scarff Scots Guards
I have several photographs of this man in various stages of his career. This first one shows him in his Scots Guards uniform. Somewhere I have his sleeve badge tucked away. This photograph seems to have been taken late 1918 before he transferred to the R.A.F.

Great Photo.
I would love to see the rank badge if you could photograph it and so I can compare its construction to some of mine. All hand made and differed in shape and materials over the years it was worn. regards

I will have to find it, I thought that it was with the paperwork and newspaper cuttings that I have just unearthed from a box that I haven't opened since we moved house. I have about a dozen more boxes to open and I am working my way through them.
Here are some photographs of his wedding day in 1912. Last edited by High Wood; 13-01-20 at 02:55 PM. Reason: Adding details.

Sadly no, I have all his commissions and lots of Yeoman of the Guard related paperwork. It came from a house clearance about 30 years ago. I suspect that the cloth badges went into my Guards file to keep it safe, Most of the loose paperwork was too big to go into an A4 file

Good afternoon, I realise that you posted these a while ago, but I have only recent found them and wondered if you had any other documents as G A Scarf was my Great Aunt's Father-in-Law and we have only just found out about him when I obtain some family history paperwork following my mother's death. I would be interested in acquiring anything that you had or wished to Share.

Hi, i am not sure if this is still live, but I have recently become aware of George Scarff from some documents my mother left for me. I would like to know if you have any of the documents you mentioned in this post and would like to share, George was indirectly connected to our family as he was the father in law of my Great Aunt.
