Hello,
Here are 2 pictures of my great grandad, 617 Pte. Tom Forrester of the 24<sup>th</sup> London <st1:city><st1london st1:city="" st1="">Regt. </st1london></st1:city><o ="">
My question is: does anyone recognise the type of the uniforms?<o ="">
I suspect that the first picture was taken during the Boer War but I'm not sure, he would have been 25 years old then.
<o></o>
The 2<sup>nd</sup> photo could be in <st1:country-region><st1lace>India</st1lace></st1:country-region>, the <st1lace>Andaman Islands</st1lace> maybe but can anyone tell roughly when by the style of uniform? I think he is wearing his <st1lace>S. Africa</st1lace> medal ribbon in this photo, some bugger stole his medals from my grandad years ago. Luckily, his BWM wasn't taken. I have that one now.
