Help Needed With Date (Approx) Please.
Hoping this works,
Mr F's family state that this is Mr F's Dad, 1906 to 1971, I know very little of this sort of thing, but this uniform and the picture in general looks much too old to be him.
Any Military Historians that can possibly date this from the uniform alone please?
My thoughts are possibly a grandad or later generation. It makes them a tad annoyed when I question the dates on this.

Hmm interesting question
first of all oral historians cant stand those of a more scientific evidential frame of mind, and get really heated as you are saying that old uncle Jack is a damned liar etc etc
and
formal military dress ( or mess dress) is hardly ever contemporary - so unless they change the dress, dating is hard within 50y.
kinda unlike architeccture.
( kinda also like coins being so imp9ortant in dating archeological strata - sorry that makes sense to me)
so.... the back of the photo may help ( the decoration of the paper it is printed on IS up to date and therefore dateable)
and the style... and
I have 1920 photos of servicemen who are photographed in a woody landscape that you show
interesting question - when can styles date something and when can they not....I wear a rowing blazer and add ons - and intentionally look as tho I have stepped out of the 1860s
Georgian mugs have been made for 200y so if you show womeone one, and ask it is Georgian? they should say hold on I will look at the hallmark .....
