Hi Peter,

Many thanks. Yes, the collar badge it looks like this but I can't match it with the cap badge.

Neither can I Steve, so gortonboy's link is a very good option. I wasn't aware of that forum and may find it useful myself.

Just to note that the cap badge also appears on the collar in the image in post 4.

The belt buckle might be significant, too.

I sent the photographs to a militaria expert in the UK. His spot on reply is below:

"I have looked at the photos and I think he was in the St.John Ambulance, the badge certainly looks like that and I think the Welsh Division of this also wore Prince of Wales Plumes as a secondary badge. The dark uniform certainly looks to be St.John’s and they did wear khaki for war service."

I checked the Internet and found photographs that show he is correct.

So many thanks everybody.

Peace and love,

Steve

Thanks for the update, Steve.

St Johns uniform would explain why the first photo didn't shout 'army uniform' at me.

Thanks.

It's a pity the photograph didn't shout St John Ambulance but the mystery is now solved
