Can you post a quality close up of the Broderick cap at bottom left?

The collar dogs appear to be a sphinx, which might narrow it down to the Lincolnshire Regiment or the Gloucestershire Regiment, but the capbadge doesn't work for either of them. A better fit for the capbadge would be the South Wales Borderers, or much less likely, the South Lancashire Regiment, although offhand I don't know whether either of these regiments wore the sphinx as their collar dogs.

Found this for Lancashire Regts which would explain the Sphinx Badge

Alamo
While the South Lancs Regt does have a sphinx in their badge (as do a number of other Regiments which fought in Egypt), and their cap badge does slightly resemble the capbadge in the photograph, after a brief bit of research I don't think he is wearing the correct collar dogs for the South Lancs, see image below
