It’s always sad to see a photo with no name on the back of it, especially a soldier from both wars. I have a couple where there have been guesses about them. It’s so easy to make mistakes about them after many years.

If the original is sharp enough, you might be able to identify his cap badge.

Thanks Rev David, I have looked through hundreds of badge photos without success.

Looks like a cannon The straight bit) with a wheel, so possibly Royal Artillery.
