Hello John, Do you know if your Dad was in the Loyal Regiment, the cap badges on the photo'look like The Loyals. Your uncle on the other photo' in the Grenadiers,only a month to go before the war ended,must have upset the relatives when they got the news. E.T.

I am sorry Eric but i don't know what regiment my father was in, he died when i was 6 and never asked the question.

Eric, I can confirm that you are correct, my Dad was in the Loyals.
