Another regiment I would like to identify from the cap badge etc. Photo not very sharp though. Sorry.

Yes, Royal Engineers.

Looks like 13th Hussars to me.

13 Hussars. The bandolier is a key cavalry indicator too.

The shoulder titles, indistinct, appear to be three tiered?

Disagree about the bandolier necessarily being cavalry indicator. Plenty of pics of RE wearing them and lanyard in WW1 for portrait photos.

I agree with Leigh that the shoulder title looks quite tall. Perhaps territorial RE?

How about a nice, high res scan of the badge?

I've tried and I can't get a better image. I don't have a great scanner. 600 dpi max. The badge on the original is only 2-3mm and not a sharp image.

Understood. It’s not always easy to get a good quality close up.

Cheers Geoff.
