Hello and thank you for accepting me into this forum. Please excuse my being new-not only to this site but my first forum post of any kind. If I am getting it wrong please be gentle. :-)
I have some old family military photos that I would dearly love to identify--not the people as yet but their military affiliation. Maybe there is someone out there that recognises a uniform, badge? The only one with an inscription on the back is almost illegible so no help there. I know family members were in The East Yorkshire Regiment and the Royal Artillery--maybe these are consistent with the pictures?
Any help gratefully received. Thank you
Paul Teal

Although the first pic is marked 2115 x 3282, the image displayed is actually only 340 x 467. The best approach is to put a high resolution photo on a suitable website (photobucket, google drive etc) and make the url available to us.
The white lanyard and diagonal bandolier suggest Artllery.

They are all largeish files and two of them are very large but they needed to be to see any detail.
Thanks for your help.

I just visited the site with my pictures. There is a warning from Google that the site has harmful files--I have good anti virus protection and my daughter (aka tech support) tells me that she has never had a problem with file storage and retrieval from there so I believe it to be safe.

This does show the uniform of the Royal Artillery Regiment, My Uncle wore same & that was his Rg't in 1914.
The photo with the badge & imbedded photo is same.

Thank you Waitabit. The picture of the badge with the photo in the middle is in the form of a postcard--as are all of those pictures--I wonder who and why they would place his picture in the centre of the badge after all this was before the days of desktop publishing and computers and must have been a big deal back then. Do you think it is something the MOD would have put together?

I'm sorry I cannot answer that, but to me it says very personal as in Family doings. Possibly after the war. Do you know who he may be & whether or not he died during the war? Even if not still a very Family oriented undertaking I think.[Female perspective,]
if not...
Have you looked on sites with War Memorials for Family who may fit the time?Happy Families
