According to Simon Smith: "They are British style but could be Dominion and they are wearing Puttees (leg wrappings) around their legs which went out of style between WW1 and 2 I can find no record of any MP units after 1939 wearing Puttees so this dates you photo circa pre-1939 looking at the weapons defo pre-1939 and the Uniforms are no longer issue after 1939. So in conclusion your date range is WW1 to just before WW2 and anywhere UK and anywhere in the Dominion."

Also, according to Patricia Pascuzzi: "I asked my son, who was curator at a WWII museum...his answer: "Judging from the rank patches and rifles, I'd say British. The chevrons for British rank patches point downward. And the man on the left looks like he's holding a British Lee Enfield rifle.""

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
