nominal role

Playing the part of the nominal?

It's "roll", dammit.

As in 'bread roll' - not 'bread role'

"Nominal Roll" - as in the Roll of Parchment on which were inscribed the Names (hence Nominal) of all those on unit strength.

Think that's a challenge?

Try "sausage role"

I mean, I can't even think of a sentence in which it would make sense . . .

'The role of the sausage is to make me feel good after I have scoffed some with mashed potatoes, onion gravy and baked beans, the sausage performs well in this role'.

Two in one sentence for your perusal.

In the enhanced image the buttons appear to be dull brass rather than black.

What about Cpl stripes on both sleeves? Thought some reg'ts wore rank on on R sleeve only? Lt Inf on one sleeve and white stripes.

I don't think you've quite got the hang of this.

Give a dyke a sausage and she's amused for hours.

Could be a Cameronian, some of the battalions wore white stripes.

Did they also have black buttons ?? .

 

[HLD DMR]

Yes, black with a stringed bugle horn surrounded by thistle laurel and crown on top.

How did this post get a ‘dumb’ ?

Let’s all try to help get this sorted

Mentioning things like brittle backing paper is a helpful thing

come along now, once the backing paper is removed the back of the photograph is visible any detail can be read, simple,.

It's a good conduct stripe. Two years I think.

The removing of the photograph from the frame is taking too long, there seems to be a reluctance to get the job done. Send for Sherlock at once,

I’ve re read this thread a few times and have done hours of research, now from what I have discovered I have come to the conclusion that the chap is now dead and was a Cpl in the British Army.
