Hey guys, I know next to nothing about my granddad. Can you help with the uniform in this picture please.
Wondering if it this . Leicestershire Yeomanry : c1900-57 Collar Badge Thanks mate. Leicestershire would make perfect sense.
Films from the Home Front Leicestershire Yeomanry 1939 (clip) Extract: Unlike other cavalry regiments in the Cavalry Division of the army the Leicester Yeomanry were not destined to be converted to a mechanised cavalry regiment in the form of tanks, signals or lorried infantry. Instead, at the end of 1939 they were split in two to form artillery units: 153rd and 154th (Leicester Yeomanry) Field Regiment RA (TA). In other words, this film is the last time that the Leicester (Prince Albert’s Own) Imperial Yeomanry were seen in camp in this form.
Quite stunning photo of the Leicestershire PAO Yeomanry blues dress ..........circa 1940s? It looks like its post War.... the Dress Cap looks RA.... could be 1950s National Service (No medal ribbons). The LYPAO did send a 25 man Coronation party for QEII..... might have been part of that? What is the name of your Granddad and I will en-devour to find out a bit more information for you. Do you know where he lived in Leicestershire?
