It looks like the Royal Hampshire Regiment to me - but is hard to say for sure.
Can you see the camp badge any better on the photo
Can you describe what it is made up of?
The Royal Hampshire Regiment is a curve of overlain leaves on either side with a rose in the centre.

Sorry Mog  :-[ I don't think it's the  Hampshires...the wreath is a full circle...if it looks like any British badge, it's more like the Loyal Regt ( North Lancs)...

But...

I think there are a few odd bods wit this one...

The epaulettes are coloured

The pockets have pleats, but there are no shoulder pads...

There is some sort of bird in the cap badge

The collar dogs have  the look of maple leaf thingys

Is this a Canadian Regt????

And what about the chalk bit "here's where the ??? hang out"???

If I wasn't on an early, I'd be up all night with this one!!

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.
