Default Help ID a Cap Badge

Hi All,

I've been told this is a relative who died in 1915, can anyone identify the cap badge?

If it is the man I've been told it is it should be the East Yorkshire Regiment.

What do we think?

Thanks,

Michael

The cap badge looks like South Lancashire Regiment.

Thanks a lot Gerard and Mike,

I didn't think it was East Yorkshire Regiment but needed some other opinions.

I think the person who has the photo has maybe got the people mixed up, now I just need to find a relative who was in the South Lancs.

Thanks a lot,

Michael
