The photos hows a Private with 6 years worth of good conduct chevrons on his sleeve with a crossed rifles marksman's badge.
I can't see a wound stripe but that would have sat vertically below the other sleeve badges.
as stated he is wearing the badge of the HLI, or possibly Royal Scots. but not the Cameronians, Scottish Reifles which would have been the white metal wreath badge by WW1.
The absence of medal ribbons suggest pre 1918 - he would have been wearing the 1914-15 star ribbon by the end of 1917/18 and by 1919 he would have the other 2.
