Hi sorry to be a pain but can anyone help me identify this outfit worn by my grandads grandad?



Thanks for any help or pointers. All info appreciated as my knowledge in this area is weak!

I'm sorry I'd like to help you but I never seen British's old uniform from 1800's to 1900's. And I'm from USA.

Me mate in the office here said "don't hold me to it but it looks like a British Home Guard uniform".

A very good resource to help you on this would be here: http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/. They have a whole section on their forum, I believe, dedicated to uniform issues (of all times and nations).

I looked over that site but there was nothing that would help him identify that uniform. Considering the fact the man in the uniform is not German. If it were your Grandad's Grandad's uniform would that not make it older than World War Two. World War One perhaps?

If it is possible to identify the medal on his left chest and the insignias on his shoulders and neck, you are going somewhere at least.

Sorry that I can't help you any further.

I was mainly referring to the forums, which as I said previously, addresses all nations.

the badge's look like st johns ambulance



he could of been involved medically

Thanks for all the pointers and I do think its either WW1 or earlier. The cross does appear to be that of St John.

If I find out I will let you all know.

Thanks again!

Right its a St johns Ambulance uniform and the medal is a "service medal" awarded for 15 or more years service before 1942 so I have contacted St Johns Ambulance for some more info.

Thanks for the help!
