Could someone identify this uniform?

This gentleman is William Gall who fought in WW1

Could someone try and identify anything from the uniform that could try and assist in placing him?

Could you enlarge the image - from its current size he is a Corporal so it looks like this is not his first enlistment photograph.

Do you when he was born, where he lived or anything else that could help identify his WW1 record?

Did he survive the war?

The badge is a very similar shape to that of the East Yorkshire Regiment.

There are two casualties on the CWGC site with surnname Gall but neither is a William Gall, one in Harehills cemetary in Leeds and one in Glasgow Necropolis.
