I'm wondering if anyone might recognise this uniform? I think my great uncle was in India in the early 1900s. He was originally from Aston, born in 1883 - I can't find him in the 1911 census though.
Many thanks
Wendy

There is some very feint writing on the back of them! Photo 1 (aka John Cleese) it says: 18/2/17; Photo 2 says: 13/6/20 - Curzon Memorial in near backpoint and part of Victoria Memorial in rear"; Photo 3 says: Ishapore Guard Room Nov 1914; and Photo 4 says: 30/12/15 - From Dunmire to Nemiaghat - (6 miles) in a Sampani pulled by 5 or 6 coolies.

There's not likely to be much visible difference in the helmet, Angela. I'll "have a dig" and see what I can find.
Hi Maypolebaz, my sister Angela Burley has asked me to put this picture on the forum. We are trying to work out whether this photo is of a World War 1 soldier, or is it a World War 2 soldier? We lost a relation in both wars and so we are trying to work out which relation this would be. Hoping that we can find this out by his uniform. Many thanks, Linda Bailey
