He was almost certainly in what was called the Derby Scheme. Men volunteered (November 1915) and were then sent home to await being called up (June 1916).

Thanks Ken, just been reading up on the Derby scheme. Am really enjoying finding out about a whole new area. My children (inspired by Horrible Histories WW1 special - it's one of their favourites!) are also fascinated and want to take the photo and records into school.

It is a fine photograph. If you post it on the photo restoration board I am sure that someone will fix the damage for you.
