Cap badge is nice and clear.

Wel(s)ch Regiment:

Word on shoulder badge appears to start with a G or C followed by a U or O .... 

Added: It wouldn't be Glamorgan would it?  It should show a T on top of a Y in the middle of the curve of the letters - In the photo I can see a Y but no cross bar for a T. It looks more like an I atop a  Y ....

   dear ruskie  looking at medal rolls for idris davies it says regiment number w/t4/037063  also his service records survived ,i have those , but sometimes you need experience to glewan extra information from them   john not sure if the w/t4 first bit will help

Are you trying to match up the photographs with army records, so you can work out who is who?

   hi Ruskie, thanks for helping  yes i am trying to link the photo to idris  davies , i know his army info including home address etc and his regiment and rank etc just wanting someone to confirm the person in my pic is wearing the uniform of someone in r a s c , and as mentioned he was a batman  and driver    hope this helps   john

The W/T4/037063 denotes
W - enlistment (in late 1914) into what began as the Welsh Army Corps, later the 38th Welsh Division
T4 - Army Service Corps Horse Transport

so employment as a [horse] driver cross checks and could well have been employed as a batman also.

The medal records for the W/T4 Idris Davies have no mention of service with the Welsh Regiment.  I haven't been able to find his attestation paper which would show that.

Potential spanner in the works.

I can't get a very good look at the buttons, but they look rather like a lion & unicorn type.  They don't look like ASC or Welch Regiment.

How about this?

Is it the Glamorgan Imperial Yeomanry?

That may well be a "I" and a "Y" over the word "Glamorgan" on the shoulder title.
