Perhaps you might have better luck posting on the Armed Forces board.  Perhaps a moderator could move the post for you.

The black tie is odd and the peaked cap was not the norm for a sgt at that time other than certain regiments such as the RHA or Guards.  The cap badge is neither of those but may be distorted by shine.

Can you magnify the shoulder title?

A high resolution scan may reveal the shoulder title and the cap badge....
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
