Hi Bojangels2,

I believe the cap badge may be that of the DLI (Durham Light Infantry). The photo itself is definitely WW1 period.

See this link to see what you think: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durham_Light_Infantry

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

HI Bojangles, if you search Military and type in surname Goode with no Christian name, type Durham in the Keyword box you will get some hits for Goode in the Durham Light Infantry.  Good luck (or should I say Goode Luck  ;D )
