I agree with Alan O. Strange to see transfer to Infantry and may be original badge.
No known gallantry award, so the Medal Ribbon is another anomaly. I thought it was a Star Ribbon, but that makes no sense with Enlistment in 1917. I'm suspecting he may have served with DLI or KSLI and the transferred to LC. Hope to find some new evidence soon.
BTW his name is John Archibald Brown, from Manchester. His brother Herbert (the Sgt photo) was in 17th Manchesters and killed at Manchester Hill on 21/3/1918 att to 90/TMB.
