The identity of the soldier depicted in the photograph here has been queried by a researcher for the Royal Tigers' Association who has made the following observation:

'The man in the photo is an officer in the Royal Army Medical Corps. Before the war, Sgt. Jones (b. 1891 Nailstone) was a colliery labourer (see the 1911 census) so it seems most unlikely that he would somehow become an officer in the RAMC and THEN become a Sgt. in the Leicestershire Regiment, which is how he was recorded when he died in December 1918'.

We would be very grateful for any additional information that might shed some additional light on this matter, or confirm the provenance of the photograph.
