WW1 Armored Car Squadrons
(1/1)
Jan Glass:
Hi, I have found some interesting photos that seem to show me that my husband's great grandfather may have served in Gallipoli with an armored car squadron. This man is a mystery to the entire family so I am hoping someone can identify the squadron or his uniform and tell me where I can go looking for more information on him. Without knowing how and where he served I can't find out any more. I do know that he ended up as the chauffeur for the Admiral of the Fleet, Earl Beatty. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thank you Jan Glass

The uniform doesn't help I'm afraid. It is possible he was R.N. - see:

If he was RN, then search the archives to find his Service Record:
