LG in Wreath above corporals stripes indicates a Lewis Gunner. Grenade above RSF is Royal Scot’s Fusiliers shoulder title. Overseas chevrons on lower right cuff. Two wound stripes on lower left cuff.
The buttons look like the double headed eagle of the Lanarkshire Yeomanry which in early 1917 was amalgamated with The Ayrshire Yeomanry to form the 12th (Ayr and Lanark Yeomanry) Battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers in 74th (Yeomanry) Division, seeing service in the Palestine campaign before moving to the Western Front in May 1918.
