Is anyone here an expert on WWI military uniforms? If so, could they take a quick glance at this photograph? http://www.wikitree.com/photo/png/Smith-76395 It's of my great uncle, aged about 17 and wearing what seems to be an WWI-era British army tunic. In later life, however, he claimed to be in the RAF during WWI. His name (George Smith) makes it too difficult to verify this in the historical record, but I was hoping someone might be able to tell me whether it's an RAF or an army tunic. Richard
