I agree, it's the West Somerset Yeomanry, however I can see where Hackstaple is coming from when stating......... "It may be the Norfolk Regiment"

Thanks to all. I have been searching as well and came to the same conclusion. Now I can begin to search his records.

I think this comparison shows just why it cannot possibly be the Norfolks but the WSY is a perfect match,
