I would say he's a Second Officer, if forced to make a decision.

Default another uniform id.

Hi - I have been told this is the uniform of the Northumberland Yeoman army Boer war. Does that mean anything to anyone.?
Thanks again.

Hi Gordon, he's wearing the 1903 pattern bandolier so this must be post Boer War. This bandolier was designed for mounted men - cavalry, mounted artillerymen etc. (inc Yeomanry, so he could be North'd Hussars?)

He's actually got his cap on his knee...and I'm sure that is the tip of a Royal Artillery cap badge you can see.

Cheers Mike, but this doesn't mean anything to me. Are you saying it is not a Boar uniform, and I had no idea what a Northumberland Yeoman was from my question, was quoting the note on the back....Gord

You've got me with that one. I would guess at cook like you say. The sign says Regimental Headquarters, 12 troop, 26th Field Regiment Royal Artillery (abbreviated) Is that his unit do you think? I can't help feeling he's not wearing and Artillery cap badge though.

Can you get a more detailed scan of the man, in particular his beret?

Hi Gordon, thanks for the close up. Looks like it could be a Catering Corps cap badge.

My first impression with the photo is it's somewhere hot. Middle East or similar.
