The picture used shows him in a hussar uniform. As it was taken in 1910 it is either British Army or Austro-Hungarian (may be honorary). Would be worth investigating to account for this. Cloptonson ( talk) 15:15, 28 May 2013 (UTC) reply

I think it must be the Staffordshire Yeomanry, and the photo was taken before 1910. A search of the online London Gazette archive shows that De Forest was commissioned into the Militia as a Second Lieutenant in the Prince of Wales's Own Norfolk Artillery (Eastern Division) on 25 August 1900. ^[1] He resigned his commission on 20 June 1903, ^[2] but this was later cancelled ^[3] and he became Second Lieutenant in the Staffordshire Imperial Yeomanry (Queen's Own Royal Regiment) on 4 July 1903. ^[4] He resigned this commission on 5 May 1906, by which time he was also an Honorary Second Lieutenant in the Army. ^[5]

Who Was Who would probably have more information, but my local library has stopped its online subscription. Opera hat ( talk) 23:33, 28 May 2013 (UTC) reply

Thank you - could you input this information to the main article - it is superior in sources and detail to what I have gathered from his biographical sketches in Who Was Who and Kelly's Handbook - perhaps immediately before the present section First World War and aftermath. I don't know if the Staffordshire Yeomanry had busbies and braided tunics but Artillery did. Cloptonson ( talk) 13:04, 30 May 2013 (UTC) reply
