Default Identification of regiment required
Can anyone identify the regiment in the attached photo of my grandfather who enlisted during WW1?

He was from Surrey but lived in Sussex.

With many thanks for any help.

Andrew Newland.

Hello Andrew, your account is active and open for posts.
To get things started, the cap badge appears to be that of the Royal Ordnance Corps, 1919 pattern.

He looks like a Driver with the Royal Army Ordnance Corps.

Royal Army Ordnance Corps, they became Royal in 1918 as far as I remember.

Andrew

If you supply his full name and date of birth we can look up his MIC and Attestation papers if they still exist.

Welcome to the Forum Andrew, this cap badge was adopted & Sealed in November 1918, but first issued in 1920-1921.
