Hello Sean

That's a lovely poster! Unfortunately I can't get enough detail when I enlarge it but two points spring to mind.

Quite a few of the badges seem to display a Victorian crown which might suggest it is earlier than you think - early 1900s perhaps?

A few of the badges seem to be for Indian Cavalry regiments and Indian Infantry regiments and as they were all re-organised in 1903 and again in 1922 it should be possible to date the poster from the titles of some of those regiments.

As I said I can't make out the details/titles well enough to give a date. I hope someone has got better vision (or a better computer) than me!

Roger

PS Just had a quick 'Google' of the artist's name and he appears to have been producing illustrations for the Boy's Own Paper around 1900-1903.
