Does Anyone Recognise this Soldier - WW2 medals etc came with it.

Good day folks

I got this little group the other day. Anyone recognise the face of the unit?

I think the group looks fine but what is the badge with the A on it?

Thanks

Thank you Artur
So this man serving in 2 Riffle Regiment is perfectly credible.

Any thoughts on the A badge? It has a spinner marked POZAMET POZNAN. Obviously not PSZ but is it pre or post war or totally unrelated?

Many thanks

James

Hello jamest
The badge is prewar. I wanted to show you a bear on the shield.

Badge with A is communist era collar badge for military administration. Look in top right corner of picture. It's maker says it all.
