Unsure which member of the Hoskins family and help required to id the uniform

[mark foot]

Clifford Hoskins was born in Castle Cary in 1895. He died on the Llandovery Castle Medical ship which was sunk on the 27th June 1918. He was with the Canadian Medical Corp. I wonder if it is possible to confirm what uniform is being worn? If it is not that uniform then the picture is likely to be of his brother Arthur who served in the British Army.

Thank you for any help,

It is without doubt not a Canadian Army Medical Corps uniform.  It is a British Army uniform, highly likely Royal Artillery, of the Victorian era - does that fit with Arthur's age?

Thank you very much. Arthur was born in 1882 ans was in the Royal Garrison Artillery.

Many thanks Mark
