Thank you Alan. Spot on. He was a private and he did indeed go to India and his regimental number was 1470.
If I understand you right 7th is the batallion number. Do you know what the 1st refers to? Is it just the 1st time it was formed?
Do all in the Hampshire Regiment have Regimental Number 1470?
I wonder if you might have a clearer photo of the cap badge?
