View Full Version : Are these men wearing a typ of uniform?
Hi all iv just been give a really old tin containing photos from my Nan, inside i have found these 2 and am curious if this is a type of uniform and if it is can any one identify them?
The first one looks similar to photos I've seen of chauffeurs / drivers. Have a look here and there's a similar uniform.
The second one seems to have a corporal's stripes on his right arm.
Someone with specialist knowledge would probably be able to recognise the medal stripes above his left pocket. there also seems ot be some kind of lettering on his left epaulette, but I'm not certain that it's a Western-style script. If you could work out what that says - or what language it's in - that could get you a long way towards knowling what the uniform is.
Thankyou for your thoughts, i have found another photo that i belive has the same man as portrait (second pic in firts post) do you think the man on the left is indeed the same man?
I reckon it's the same man. Certainly the general facial appearance is very similar; the medal ribbon appears similar, and similarly placed; the rank looks as if it could be corporal, too. the left ear appears to be the same shape - quite a distinctive identifier, in general, I believe.
