Hi can anyone identify the naval uniform worn by my grandfather in this picture please? I don't know whether he was Royal Navy or Merchant navy. This may have been taken just before or around WW1 I think
Thanks
Hi there, I THINK, that this an edwardian merchant navy uniform, it differs from what I have seen of the royal navy to make me doubt he is a royal navy officer or rating. The style of his uniform looks pre 1920 with its high collar and tie, but it is very formal, I shall keep looking....
Thanks - I think he may have been in the merchant navy rather than the RN but I don't know for sure. I don't know how to upload a hi res image of the badge, but have cropped and hope you can see!
