    Can you bring up the shoulder titles and the formation badge more clearly. Could it be the three trees of 12 Corps ? badge, formation, XII Corps (12th Corps)

    Uniform looks to me like late 1930s / very early war with Field Service cap and Service Dress. Pushing it a bit for someone born 1922...but not impossible.

    you are correct he was born in 1922

    Could it be his father? Fits the right age to have served in WW1

    I think lack of collar badges mean it is pre early 1920’s or most certainly WW1 era phot?

    Thanks all.
    Ive informed its Early ATC uniform. Air Defence Cadet Corps (ADCC), set up in 1938 formally became ATC 5 February 1941.
     
    AB64, Owen and Tullybrone like this.
