Hi

We are trying to date this image, suspect it is around the Boer war, this might help confirm if the person in the photo is part of my tree.

Post Boer War.
He's wearing the 1902 pattern tunic.
This style was worn up to 1915 when it was replaced
by the economy tunic.
I can't make out his shoulder title but it's short & with the
bandolier is probably a Driver RHA/RFA.
