His regiment is very proud of their heritage under British command and may have a photograph of one of their old boys.

Hello,
This is a Gettyimage taken in 1944.
ENGLAND - AUGUST 06: A Kodachrome colour photograph of a veteran soldier, taken by JCA Redhead (1886-1954) during World War Two. The soldier wears the scarlet dress uniform of an officer in The Queen's Royal West Surrey Regiment, the senior line regiment of the British Army. The medals on his chest show that he is a veteran of World War One. He also proudly wears the Distinguished Service Order medal.

What rank is he? I didn't know the uniform before.
Thanks!

Can anyone identify this officer please. It's a 1943 photo and may have been taken in North Africa. The signature appears to read K R Norman but I may be reading the initials incorrectly. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Ian

[Georges JEROME]

look alike Vice-Admiral Goeffrey Norman

[Ian Sayer]

Thanks very much Georges. Just compared it to a 1948 portrait and its definitely him.
Not sure I can make his initials G N but it is certainly him.
Much appreciated
All the best
Ian
