Royal Engineers uniform query
Hello
Hoping someone might be able to give me some pointers on a photograph of my great grandfather in uniform. This is all fairly new territory so forgive any ignorance! We know he served in WW1 with the Sherwood Foresters. By WW2 he would have been around 43. No one in the family is aware of him having served during WW2. We are also not aware of him having spent any time in the Royal Engineers - but the collar badge here looks quite like an RE badge... Any thoughts or tips gratefully received, as this is a bit of a mystery to us. Thanks in advance Marcus |

Could he have joined the Territorials?

Have you tried downloading his service records from Ancestry or Forces War Records? Unless they were destroyed in the war they should shed some light on his service.
Cheers, Alex |
