Trying to find if this is my grandfather John know as Jack Foreman phot taken at Florence studios Camden Town.

What was Jack Foreman’s date and place of birth?
Who were his next of kin?
What was his address?

[mckha489]

Have you a photograph of him when he was older to compare it with?  (Assuming he survived the war)

[PaulineJ]

And of course , since it's a uniform,  in which service ( rank, unit) did he serve?

I stand to be corrected.

The badge is not clear enough to say exactly which regiment, but one if the Fusiliers.

I can’t see any stripes, so a Private soldier. He appears to be wearing a band on his left arm, but unclear what it denotes.

Yes, looks like a Fusiliers cap badge. Maybe City of London Reg.?

Agreed - Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment)
The cap badge has a crown between the disc and flames.
