Hi Samantha.
I would try a google search - but it would help you if you have a rough idea of when this photo was from?
Had a quick look, this might be of interest re.20th century uniforms:

Hi Jan

I think the photo must of been taken around 1918 or after.

Thank you, I will check out the website.

Only other thing if you wish to do it is email the image to me - my hubby is a military history fan, though usually earlier than 20thc! He has a number of mates who might know too.
Up to you, no problem.
