Default 17th Lancers,Duke of Cambridge's Own Officer Photo
A nice portrait photo of an officer of the 17th Lancers (Duke of Cambridge's Own). Ribbon may be a DSM.

Cheers Nick

Lovely photo however the ribbon is unlikely to be that of the DSM (Distinguished Service Medal) as that is
a) An other ranks award
and
b) A Naval award

Very interesting..... that is the "Rat Face" motto... a type 1 by the look of it. So this photo dates that motto earlier than WW2. To date I have yet to see an officer silver version .... so I can only assume that the one in the photo has a slider. There is a Wm looped E/W version as well... but it does not looked looped in the photo?. Is he an SSM?

Any chance of a higher resolution image of just the motto?
