Hi
I understand this is a Boer War uniform. Could anyone help me identify the regiment?

The photo was among family photos and I would love to know who he is. There was a larger version of this picture hanging in my grandparents' home in Shuttleworth, Lancashire so he could be a member of the Nuttall or Duckworth families.

Any help would be welcome

Welcome....

But we need a picture, LOL.....

Mike

Thanks Mike.

I don't know what I did wrong but will try again to attach photo

Try to attach larger photo....

Mike





Enlarged the picture and could not see any regimental markings......

Feathers???? in hat.......

Possibly, Imperial Yeomanry..... Looks like studio photo before they left England....

Mike

Thanks again Mike.
It's strange that you mention a studio photo as my grandmother always said it was a staged photo of my grandfather but he fought in the First World War. Apart from looking nothing like my him, surely WW1 soldiers wouldn't dress in Boer War uniform for a photo? This seems very odd.
