World War 2 Photo? - Can anyone help?

[Rowanoak]

Hi Everyone,

I found this photo of my grandfather a while ago and I've always wondered about the uniform he's wearing. I thought it might be home guard as I don't think he fought in the 2nd World War. Just wondering if anyone would know what it is or where I can find out some info about it.

Many Thanks
Lynda

That's '22 pattern uniform with an 03 pattern ammo bandolier.
The uniform was worn upto and after the introduction of the '37 pattern uniform.
In fact there were a lot of troops on the retreat to Dunkirk that were still wearing '22 pattern uniform.
It was a real mix and match. '22 pattern uniform with '08 or '37 pattern webbing and '37 pattern uniform with '08 or '37 pattern webbing.
