Help with uniform ID

[stevenpenny]

Having made the post above I asked a friend who knows about these things. He tells me that the gentlemen is certainly a member of the 5th Royal Irish Hussars.

This is we believe the plate on the hat:







and these are the collar dogs.




many apologies for my rash post

I assume you meant to say Lancers not Hussars, for the helmet plate?

Hi Martin,

Absolutely; i'm not having a very good day

To clarify: The photograph shows a soldier from the 5th (Royal Irish) Lancers. The helmet plate indicates he is an OR (Other Ranks) i.e. not a commisioned Officer.

I'm not sure why but I can't see the second image of the collar dogs, i'm sure I posted it? Sums my day up nicely....

Can anyone help in identifying this uniform? The back of the picture says the year of 1911. Above the picture is an "all sizes" button to view a larger size. Thank you.

an update for anyone interested...I discovered in a census record (1911) that he was in the 12th Lancers. I believe the information provided by crimea1854 from the medal role is correct for my Grandfather. Thanks everyone!
