Which would pin it down as the uniform and photo style fits that period. Highly polished bandolier!

The photograph is really small.

Some of the West African Colonial Police Forces of the day had similar style badges. Without a better photo I can't get specific though.

Default 4th Hussars
From your information I've now looked up more about the 4th Hussars and indeed it most certainly looks to be that regiment.
Thanks very much indeed Leigh !
It was in my grandmother's possessions. It's going to be interesting trying to find out who he is.
Many thanks again,
Peter
