Thanks for the replies so far.
I feel it unlikely he would have been in an Australian regiment, although I confess to knowing very little about military history!
He was born in London, to an Irish father and the photo was taken at Tower Bridge Photo Studios in London.
I don't know much about his military career at all other than having this photo, some letters he sent to his son from India in 1917 and a photo of him in uniform that says it was taken in 1919.
I do see a definite resemblance in the collar badges though!
Unfortunately, I don't have the original photo, only a scan. I've attached some snips from that at the full resolution I have.. and the 1919 photo just in case it's any help, but I'll see if I can get hold of the original photo in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks again,
Shaun
