Default Any ideas on these 2 photos please?

Any suggestions re 2 photos appreciated.
First is a British cavalry officer-cant quite make out the sabretache badge-Lancers perhaps?On the collar it looks like a Victoria crown but not sure and cant see anything on the foreign service helmet.Photo taken in 1878.
Second one is of a soldier with grenade badge on collar-possibly engineer/artillery?The photographer is based in Valetta Malta so possibly Malta Artillery rather than a British soldier visiting?

Hi Bobblehat

You have managed to post these photos in the Aussie section, maybe you should get them moved to the British section and you may get more replys.

Looking at the 1st photo it looks as if he is a Captain in a Dragoon or Dragoon Guard regiment, however the badges are not clear enough to suggest a regiment and no badge can be seen on the helmet.

I hope that this helps.

Regards Phil.
