    Uniform WWI Railway Porter?

    Good Afternoon Please could someone identify the uniform of the young man at the back of the photo attached? My grandfather was a railway porter and a boy rating in the Royal Navy during WWI and I'm just wondering which uniform he is wearing in the photo? Many thanks.

    Railway Porter-WWI-Where To Find Records

    Good Afternoon Please could someone tell me where to look for railway company occupational records for my grandfather who was a railway porter pre/during WWI? (I've had no luck so far on Ancestry). I presume he worked at Banbury Railway Station but this may not be the case. Many thanks.
