Hi folks: This may not be the appropriate place to ask this and my apologies for this (does anyone know a mailing list that might be the right place?), but could people please take a look at this photo at http://members.home.net/klawry/ , and let me know if they have any thoughts. It's a postcard, so it likely dates from the early 1900's, but I can't identify the uniforms. It was likely taken near Bradford, YKS,England. Thank you so much in advance, Kay in Red Deer, Alberta
This page is under construction, but you might want to watch it for future reference regarding British Naval Uniforms... other branches of the British Military can be found at the root british-forces.com http://british-forces.com/rtw/uni-rank/uni-rank-index.html After looking at those, I got a wild hair and took a look at the uniforms that the crew of the Titanic wore (on the actual ship, not in the movie)in 1912. Take a look here and see how close - perhaps your picture is of a passenger ship crew? http://titanic.eb.com/03_SINK/pict_16.html And judging by the ladies' hats, and referring to 'Dating Old Photographs' from Family Chronicle, it was taken circa 1905-1915. The picture with the hats most like those in your photograph is dated 1909.
