Royal Welsh Fusiliers officer portrait
From what I can see of his collar badges he appears to be wearing the earlier version without the loop in the tail, though it is the shape of the feet on which I base this as the later type with the looped tail have feet of a quite different shape, so I assume this would date towards the end of WWI or just after.

Rather than start another thread, here are a couple mor officer portraits of the RWF, though these are I think Circa WWII or possibly after for the Beret pic, and of course they are the Royal Welch Fusiliers by then, rather than Royal Welsh Fusiliers.
Tjhe example with the FS cap I have had for a while, and the cap matches very well one I have in my collection, with bullion and metasl dragon badge, whilst the beret pic arrived today and has the OSD badge on it. Both of these have the later type beast with looped tail and more of a dragon look to it.

Yes, it was described as a "large" photo?

It is 6&1/4 by 8&1/4 inches, (16cm x 21cm).
The other one with the FS cap is much larger 7&1/2 x 9&1/2 inches (19cm x 24.5cm), which was a gift.
