    I'm sorry I have very little information on this man, he was sent to me to be added to my database and I would love to add more detail than what his Niece has about him.
    I was hoping someone may be able to identify his Rank or Regiment from this picture, I have 3 altogether and I have put them up on my website.
    fingers crossed and Thank you for trying even if not successful :)

    His are the bottom three pictures

    To me he looks like a Private in the Royal Ulster Rifles.
    Pity "gas man" not here anymore, he knows a bit about them.

    At the outbreak of war the 1st Bn RUR were in India.
    Which looks where this and the other photos were taken.

    Thank you Owen, I will get the Lady who's relation it is to come here and watch this thread, then she can research your suggestion, I was hoping he'd turn up in the ROH's on Eddies News Extracts but no sign of him that I can see.
