I amresearching my family history and have recently come across some family photos that I was hoping you could help me with. I have no idea what regiment or year these photo’s are from, except for photo number 2.
I was hoping someone may take a look and see if you could identify them
Photo number 2 is my grand dad. He served with the Royal horse Artillery and served in both the first and second world wars, and I think this was the Hockey team maybe.
The other photos are possibly William Oakley and other family members.

In terms of finding out the regiment in which he served, you'd be better off searching for his Service or Pension Record on Ancestry. There you should find the detail about his service and where he was posted to.

For your Grandad - if he continued to serve (or served again) in WW2 - his service records would still be with the MOD -

Possibly a sport other than hockey?? - too many team members for hockey - and no sticks - that you'd normally expect to see included in a photo
Cheers

Thank you for your replies. I think I may of given the wrong idea in my first post. I am not asking who is in the photo's or for information about the men, but would like to know if anyone reconises the uniforms.

The 4th photo looks like a troop of PTIs (Physical training instructors). Can't help with the rest I'm afraid but the indication seem to point to the mid-east or India and a calvary unit,
best regards Michael Duke

Picture Two looks like Army Service Corps to me, specifically a Horse Transport Company.
The Great War Forum will no doubt help if you post the pictures there.
Good luck, Jonesy
