Hi Jim
No idea if he re enlisted,
He died when I was 6 and My father and my aunts and uncles said he never spoke about  WW1.But they thought he found it to painful due to losing his brother Leonard whom was the next sibling up from him he also lost another brother whom was next down from him he died in a horse and cart accident at 16 years old and this happened about 8 months prior to Leonards death.

Have another look at the picture & see if there is a shoulder title. This is at the end of the shoulder at the top of the arm.

Hi Jim
The Photo is very blurry around the lapel area on the one pic it looks like it as three buttons down each one and then something below these but not at all clear it looks like the photo as a romantic cloud to soften it/and the other the lapels are not visible on the top surface.

I think it's time you found out how to resize it so we can take a look.

I don't recognise this on a British uniform. The only tunics with lapels were those worn by Officers.
