Initially thought Rifle Bde . . .
Chaps, I initially thought this Cpl was Rifle Bde, but he appears to possibly have a 'LONDON' strap on his shoulder title with a 'T' above? Thoughts?

It's is widely known but the 33rd Bn London Regiment was raised in WW1 and wore the RB cap badge.

Smashing portraits JT with super sharp badge detail.
Thanks Alan I did not know that. For anyone interested here is a relevant thread on the GWF: https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/...rifle-brigade/ |

I would say definitely not 8th Londons due to the voiding below the lower arm of the cross. This was not found on their badges.

Thanks Gents - unfortunately the original image has lost definition when they created the enlarged print photograph.

After further studying I am now certain it's the 17th Londons. The shoulder title is, to my eyes, T/17/LONDON.

That sounds likely. By the time the 33rd was formed in 1918 I suspect the metal s/ts were replaced by cloth ones.
