World War One / Re: WWI - What was this man's role?

Thanks to everyone for your help.  I now think, having read his daughter's memoirs that he was a volunteer locally before the official volunteer service started.  I am amazed at all the help given by you all - thank you so much.

Thanks for that.  I think having looked at the memoirs of this man's daughter he probably had an exemption from service as he was not only 39 at the start of the war, and married, but was also employed on the railways. I think it is reasonable to assume that he was a local volunteer before the official volunteer service began.  Thanks again.

World War One / WWI - What was this man's role?

I am researching a man from Ditchling, Sussex who was 39 at the outbreak of WWI.  His family have given me a photo of him in uniform and on the back it says Father in Local District Volunteers (LDV).  I looked this up and the LDV only started in WWII.  Can anyone tell me anything from his uniform please?
