2nd Lieutenant Volunteer Force World War One
Picked up this card backed photograph recently showing a Second Lieutenant wearing what appear to be General List Cap and Collar badges with a 'V' below the collars. Am I correct in thinking that he is serving with the Volunteer Force as denoted by the 'V' badges and if so would this then date the photograph to after 1916 when it is my understanding that the Volunteer Act was passed.
Any thoughts appreciated. Regards, Simon. |

Yes... it would date you pic to no earlier than 1916 when, in October of that year, the WO announced that in place of previously worn VTC collar badges, officers of the newly formed Volunteer Force, were to wear the letter 'V' on the collar. Great photo. Regards, JT |

Many thanks for that, I was a wee bit unsure due to the Cuff Rank tunic being worn, always thought that they were obsolete by 1916. Regards, Simon. |
