Dear Friends, After having the luck of getting hold of a photo of my great - grandfather, I am at a loss as to further steps. With Geoff's kind help I would like to ask, who can make suggestions or give me any info on the Uniform pictured ? I presume it is British - Military, but there is also a (perhaps fairy) tale of France/Canada ! with many thanks. Edw.j.Tate Bavaria / Germany The photograph is shown on my own website at:~ www.wedmore.org.uk/photo.htm please respond on the list. ~G

From his head-dress I have the impression that he may have belonged to one of the Indian regiments. He was a sergeant with a long service stripe, so he could easily have been serving in India. I am probably miles out, but sometimes an impression can help.
