dating possible WW1 photo Collingwood Battalion

[lemming23]

Hi,
I am trying to establish the identity of this young man. I have a relative who was an Able Seaman Naval Volunteer who died in 1915, Gallipoli, aged 22, whilst serving in the Collingwood Battalion, looking after the horses. Could this be his photo, found in a family collection? It is much faded and I cannot read what is written on his hat, nor does the writing on the reverse mean anything to me.
Many thanks for your time.

The text on the back refers (I think) to the location of the intended recipient i.e. Manly, New Zealand (Zealandia).

Collingwood is a Royal Navy establishment in the South West (I did some work there many moons ago), perhaps that's what is on the hat?

This adds some more colour to my previous post

I've tried to brighten the photo up but the name is still unreadable, but however it appears to be a long name, so it possibly is Collingwood. There's a good chance this could be your relation, I doubt there will be many photos of a Navy person with a horse.

Thank you both. I vacillate between thinking it must be my uncle to thinking that the writing on the back of the photo doesn't fit that identification. At least you both think the photo was taken WW1!
