Identifying Regiment.??

[Wendy.M]

Is it possible a reader with knowledge of Regiments could tell from a poor photo-copy of a photo I may never see again, what Reg't this man belonged to?
His name was the same as many others, he lived in Croydon, Surrey & I may have found him in Documents On Line. The medal card I saw reads.. London Reg't.377135-Rifleman Catologue WO327/23.
 I have his Wedding photo in with him uniform 1914  but his cap badge is very hard to discern. I've tried enlarging & ended up with a blob. I've checked capbadges on line & can't be sure what it is.  Any takers ? please? I need to be nearly sure before trying to buy his docs. If ok I'll post the piccy.
Most grateful for any assist here.  Wendy M.

I'm having trouble getting file up.. I'vre cut out his Bride cut him off atthe knees & still no go, We have anew system  which edits through Paint. We don't get on too well. I'll try something else.
Hang in there.cheers Wendy

Once more..etc

The bandolier suggests a mounted unit - the cap badge could be Royal Artlllery.

Any clues in the rest of the picture Wendy? Is he wearing spurs for instance?

Hi Wendy and welcome to RootsChat ! 

I was thinking Royal Artlllery too ! do you have a name or any other details that may help find your soldier ?

Hello Wendy,

I assume we are looking for a Henry George Martin.

I'm in agreement with Shaun and Annie that the man in the photo is Royal Artillery. There are numerous MICs for plain Henry Martins, none that I could see for Henry George, but the one below is for Henry G Martin, Gunner, Royal Garrison Artillery, 2126 and 293309.

Good morning all,
Thankyou  heaps Shaun, Annie & Forrester, yes he was Henry George Martin AKA "George". In photo he's wearing knee boots with trouser legs tucked in.  All I know other than that is he had ahand gun which he brought home with him, (didn't everyone?) & my Mother & Aunt received embroidered handkerchief cards while he was'away'. I so appreciate this effort folk as he was a beaut bloke ,we never met but he was the only maternal Uncle I had.

cheers Wendy M.
