I'm trying to identify the unit that Arthur Smith served with in WW2 (the name doesn't help!). I have 2 photographs which don't show much detail and although I know he served in Africa in 1940 I don't have any service record information. I'd be grateful for any help ar advice anybody can offer me.
Not much to go on, first photo is Service Dress so pre-War through to Early war - the trousers/puttees/boots with spurs imply mounted - along with the white lanyard I'd be thinking artillery - the second photo is Battle Dress in its original format made from 1937-42, along with the FS cap gives a feel of around 1940-43 I'd say - this is probably the later taken photo so interesting to see he has "lost" his stripe - I'm struggling to work out his formation sign or cap badge unfortunately
It was a long shot without much to go on. Thanks for your help - I'll keep looking for other pictures of the man in the family albums.
