My guess (unless your German, has a luftwaffe look about him )

RAF, cant tell which department though. Maybe one of the crabs will enlighten you.

As the photo is so small it wont take much enlargement before it distorts. I was to take a guess I would say it was of a RAF chap of the WW2 era. The RAF kept forage caps long after the Army had gone over to Berets. Well thats what I think any way.

can you tell if its canadian RAF or british... were can i find out more information on this man

[Mike]

By the way he stoops I'd guess they he came from the prairies, somewhere like, Regina, Saskchewan. The only reason I say this is because of the weight of snow they carry on their shoulders for 7 month of the year

Aye

The photo is tiny. To get the sort of details you want it needs to be a lot bigger unless a spotter is looking at it.

[Doc]

Maybe he was a hobbit and your gandalf the grey

[deniz666uk]

tried to make it larger but it just distorted it but cleaned it up a bit if this might help me

Looks like Wing Commander Guy Gibson taking his doggie N****r (PC or farking what then!? ) for a walk.

I would say a sergeant in the RAF

[Mike]

I would say a sergeant in the RAF

with one medal ribbon and a child holding onto his right hand....Oh and smoking a pipe....which they all did in those days.

I think thats about all you are going to get..

Aye

Sgt, RAF, can't see a medal ribbon on the left side of chest

Can see a satchell over the shoulder - and hanging down at his back,
perhaps a white shirt and red tie which COULD denote sick berth
( walking wounded ). ( Woolwich Arsenal - or RAF equiv. ? ).

There again, perhaps this could be a Home Guard coming off watch -

One good conduct badge, left sleeve ?

The Satchell being his Gas Mask case, carried by everyone in the UK during the war by law.

[Pilgrim Norway]

I had one with a Mickey Mouse flap on the front in my gasmask case.....

Have experience in being old......

Might be my great grandad going down the bookies.
