It's WW1 British Army possibly Yorkshire Regiment (Green Howards) I think that the shoulder title could say Yorkshire
Do you have a name for your grandad?

Hello anneeleaine.

Can you get post a clear picture of the buttons on Charles uniform jacket or give a good discription.

I am going to try and contact some of my military contacts and see what else I might come up with.

Good idea to post on this board . Talk laters.

His shoulder title isn't RGA or RFA
