An unknown Trooper of the Royal Berkshire Yeomanry 1914-18.

The second photograph shows that he later transferred to another mounted unit.

My money would be on 3rd CLY for the second photo.

A touch of the Fred Gwynnes, with our yeoman matey, I reckon...

Having looked at this for over a week now I think that the cap badge is that of the IVth Hussars. The collar badge, though unclear, looks to be 4H.

One of the Berkshire Yeomanry photographs was taken in King's Lynn, Norfolk, which would make the man 2nd/1st Berkshire Yeomanry. He almost certainly transferred to the Corps of Hussars later.

I agree, 4th Hussars.
