The Medal Roll for the above man showed he disembarked in March 1919 - no note of when he joined.

This site is very useful for finding out when a man joined up - it looks as if Reginald joined late 1913 or early 1914:

1838 joined on 8th April 1913
1864 joined on 22nd January 1914

Ancestry has the Oxford Hussars war diaries - there are 632 pages, so you will see why I don't offer to send them to you! It is very unlikely that Reginald will be named in them but it will show what was happening to him.

Hi Potty,
That's marvellous news. Thanks so much. I will look at the website,
You are brilliant and probably answered something I have wondered for a long time since seeing this photo.

Hi Potty,
Like you I do not find enough hours in the day and my email at onetel has been unavailable. I forwarded this email before I got locked out!
I have been in touch with the Yeomanry facebook page and he was indeed in the above Corps.
Many thanks for your help.

Looks very much like my grandfather's regiment RAVC. ROYAL ARMY VETERINARY CORPS WW1

Pity no hat as the cap badge would be of great help. Have seen RAVC personnel with collars and collarless uniform jackets.


War Horse is a film that may have the same uniform.

Researching:
Lloyd,Paddock,Cooper,Morris,Rigby West Midlands Salop Worc

Hi PatinCyprus,
I do not think he was in the Vetinary section.

Thanks.
