14th Corunna Bty, 4 Field Regt. R.A. 1930s
This is an enlargement from a group photograph of the 14th (Corunna) Battery taken in Nowshera in the mid 1930s.
The Corporal appears to be a Lewis Gunner and has clearly served during the Great War. I am curious as to why he is wearing R.A.F. wings. Is it possible that his war time service was with the R.F.C./R.A.F. or was he attached to the R.A.F. at the time the photograph was taken? The Corporal to his left appears to be wearing a version of the North-Western Army (India) Formation Sign. |

Unable to help with the Pilot winged Bombardier, however the chap next to him is wearing the Saddle and Harness Makers Horse Bit badge.

Marc,
thank you for putting me right, I was going with Nowshera being in the North West Frontier but I was clearly over thinking it. The clue should have been that the other Corporal was wearing a Lewis Gunner's badge and not a formation sign. Simon |

He is wearing an L in wreath badge of a Gun Layer, not a Lewis/Light Machine Gunner. The wings are a mystery
