    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.
