Unfortunately cant make out the collar badges well enough to be sure. It could be one of several regiments. It is the tunic itself that I cant quite make out. It is certainly Victorian as I believe by the 20th century, the collars were squared off at the closure and no longer had piping for infantry regiments. Also, the collar appears to be the same scarlet material is the body of the tunic, in other words, no facing color, which would be of course be dark blue for the RWF.
The cuffs also are pointed with piping, but the facing color is indistinguishable.
The shoulder straps have the grenade above what is presumably the title, but no luck there.
Cant make out the WBC on the Slade Wallace belt either, but they were usually GS pattern for ORs.
Sorry, but so far I am drawing a blank here.
