Униформа других стран

Здравствуйте! На фото мой прадед Тындык Михаил Николаевич (1886-1963). В письме к своей сестре он упоминал о польско-украинской войне, которая началась позже даты снимка (1915г.), как, впрочем, и чешский город Оломоуц мало соотносится с этой войной. Не могли бы вы помочь определить род войск, и , возможно, звание

This is my grandmothers brother. What kind of uniform is this? We have no idea what happened to this man.

I suspect it's either Canadian or British World War I uniform but I don't know much about it. If I am not mistaken the cap badge specifies a unit so in theory it's possible to identify it.

Does this man's uniform show identity?

Take a look at my answer to your question in another thread: https://forum.vgd.ru/post/86/18375/p1200288.htm#pp1200288

Mike,

I did some digging and it does look like Canadian uniform of 1913 pattern (7 buttons, stand-up collar etc). In addition he wears a winter trench cap with ear flaps that was introduced around 1915. It should give you some idea about the earliest time this picture could have been taken. The scan’s resolution is not high enough to identify the unit by the badge. There is a visible diagonal element on top of it. I compared it with some Canadian cap badges that I found on the Internet and it looks like a moose head or some other animal or a bird. Here are examples of similar looking badges:

I have an Attestation Paper where he was sworn into the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Forces on March 15, 1916. The place was Fort Francis which is in the Rainy River district that is shown on the first badge. He died in Vancouver in 1970 at age 79. I met him in 1966, he was still writing to his friend in Zhichin.
You have been a great help to my family.
