Grenade collar?

RA grenade or RE grenade?

Somerset man in utility tunic dated to Dec 1900.

No scroll so neither RA or RE. Universal pattern maybe but the flames look to be too spread and too large overall.

The large double width chevrons would suggest Guards or HAC to me.

Top of the class. I now have a name for him and he was a L/Sgt in the 3rd Bn CG.

The collars are blurred but the rh one is star shaped despite the blurring.
