Jen, what a lovely reply. So very helpful. And thank you for dating the hats for me. This is an invaluable piece of information. I have received many replies ranging from fire brigade uniforms (apparently very navy like) to fire brigade/police often being the same force, to noting the nets in the background and wondering, like you, if it might have been taken near the sea. The fellow who had this photo did run away to sea circa 1909, but I can't place him in the photo (I have other photos of him at this time). Maybe he took the photograph. Once again, thank you, sincerely, Kathleen ----- Original Message ----- From: Jenny Dahl <jdahl@mmcable.com> To: <VINTAGE-PHOTOS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2001 1:59 PM Subject: RE: [VINTAGE-PHOTOS] Does anyone have any thoughts on dating this photo? > 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.
