    Anybody Recognise this Uniform / Regiment etc please WW2

    Also can't find any 1921 census records for the Dunhills but if the chap in pic was in Army he may not have been listed.

    Anybody Recognise this Uniform / Regiment etc please WW2

    Yes thanks everyone for replying.....as I say just got some pics and couldn't believe the name Dubhill...but I cannot find a Jack anywhere....if you remember my Charles William Bayley could have had Dunhill as a father and had John Bayley b.1903 as a brother who changed name to Dunhill before...

    Anybody Recognise this Uniform / Regiment etc please WW2

    Have acquired some old photos of "uncle" Jack Dunhill.....this one says Cairo ,Egypt 1928. Could anyone guess what uniform it is and why were they there in 1928. I presume they have volunteered. I can only find a John Dunhill in family tree but sure they used both names.

    Phelan family

    No reply but another lead is suggesting the Boxer in family could be a Jack Dunhill (or John). There IS a John Dunhill so could be him but cant find anything in searches. The person who told me has a picture with name on the back but mislaid it for now.
