Dick,
Looking at his age and lack of medals I would suggest he is a Volunteer Officer, but thats not certain.
The 1st Sussex Artillery Volunteers were based at Brighton, but there again most large coastal towns had similar Artillery Volunteers.
I can find no officers with the surname Truss or Thurlby in any regiment of the British Army in the 1880's and 1890's which is when the photo would have been taken.
regards
