The only thing I have to this is a bit of image enhancement. Hope this helps.

Thank you Mike for that, sadly I've no idea, looks like Mac something maybe?
Cheers

I agree that the first three letters are Mac and it looks to me as if they are followed by an 's'.  The word underneath looks as if it starts with a 'Y'.  The only one I can think of immediately relating to WW1 is Ypres,  but according to this link below, the 7th Hussars were in India for most of WW1, then being sent to Mesopotamia in 1917.

Chris,

The only thing I can suggest is making a higher resolution scan (300 or 600 dpi). This one looks to be 96 dpi. This won't necessarily mean that the handwriting will be legible but the letters will be clearer.

It does look like Mac...

I don't know what's on the photo but I wondered whether the handwriting might refer to a location (or even a ship) rather than the person's name. The web page http://www.researchingww1.co.uk/7th-queens-own-hussars describes where the 7th Hussars were stationed during WW1:
Bangalore, India
Karachi, Pakistan
Baghdad, Iraq (after hostilities had ended)

If it's a location, rather than a name, it may be in or around one of these places.

Good luck!

Or could the first two letters be "In"

I've tried an enhancement but still no joy in interpreting.The length of underlining seems excessive for the visible text.

Thank you all,  bit of a blurry one, the person took a photo of a photo, that's why its not that clear, here is the whole photo, maybe clearer on that, hopefully

Thank you all again,

Chris
