Help wanted identiying regiment from uniform

[alan o]

This chap is in the 7th or 8th Battalion of the Yorkshire regiment.  They were territorials and had their own cap badge design.

In my opinion its WW1 era and not the 1920s.

My guess is 7th Batt Sherwood Foresters (Robin Hood Bn)

7/8th Leeds Rifles West Yorks Regiment the wreath joins up on the cap badge

7/8th was a post war amalgamation so it is the 7th or 8th.

This badge looks like one of the London Regiments but they were mostly Rifle Regiments and normally wore black horn buttons. 

I am pleased there there is a Sherwood Forester connection because:

The 7th Robin Hood Battalion (Territorial Force) of The Sherwood Foresters had a badge such as these two soldiers are wearing. It was issued in both white metal and blackened metal.

This is an update on my earlier post:

I recently checked the 1921 Census and saw that on the address of my grandfather's family there was a Francis Michael Killoran listed as visitor. His occupation was shown as a soldier and he also worked for the Post Office, so there is an connection between one of the men in this photo and the Post Office. I think Francis may be the man on the left and not Fred Lay (my great uncle ) who I originaly thought it might be. I think it's possible that Francis was visiting the family as he was  a pal of my other great uncle Albert Lay (b1900) who was a soldier.

Does anyone have any useful links or information about Post Office regiments during WWI?

I now think that it is Albert Lay on the right here. I'm not sure if he worked for the Post Office but he was certainly a soldier in the early 1920s when was listed a a rifleman in the Infantry in India and it is possible that he signed up to be a soldier earlier in WWI even though he was below age. Please see below two photos of Albert, I think that facially he is the same as the man on the right in the main photo above.

Any help/comments would be welcome.

If it helps there was just 1 Albert Lay KRRC:
Pte. 19450 20th. Btn.

Yes that's him (it tioes with his regime t on the 1921 Census) but I'm wondering if he signed up during WWI.

Does anyone agree with me that it could be Albert Lay on the right of the main photo?And what age is he?

I'm wondering if he signed up during WWI

Yes.
His Medal card shows he received the BW & Victory medals.
