Summary

Description
English: A British Army officer (in the temperate Service Dress uniform) and soldier (in the other ranks tropical service dress uniform worn locally during the summer months) with a motor car in Bermuda, in 1942. The officer's cap badge is unclear, but appears to be that of the Royal Regiment of Artillery. His armband appears to have the letters "S O", presumably G S O". The rang badges on his shoulder straps are unclear, but look likely to be those of a Captain. Consequently, the officer is most probably Bermuda Command General Staff Officer, 3rd Grade (GSO3), Captain (temporary) R. H. Tierney, R.A., although other Royal Regiment of Artillery officers in the garrison ranking Captain and above included Captain F. W. Jefferies, R.A. (Staff Captain), Major H. M. O'Connor, R.A. (T.A.), Major (local Lieutenant-Colonel) E. F. Maude, R.A. (Commandant Bermuda Militia Artillery, Captain L. D. Fox, B.M.A., and Captain (temporary) J. J. O'Brien, B.M.A. The other rank soldier appears to belong to the Royal Army Service Corps.
