Is anyone good at identification from uniforms and cap badges? I have a WW1 pic of a great uncle and would like to do some research at Kew but given that his name is James Brown, the regiment would be useful. If you think there is a chance you could helo - please email me and I will send the photo Thanks for looking Sylvie
