He is a Lance-Corporal of the Suffolks. He is wearing the Economy Service Dress (ESD) issued 1915/1916 typified by the lack of pleats in the pockets and the absence of extra material on the shoulders. The stick in his right hand is a swagger stick.

Hi Steve, I'm going to have to disagree. It's Bedfordshire regiment. The ends of the scroll on the Beds Rgt cap-badge point slightly downwards (visible at about 8 O'Clock and 4 O'clock on this image), as opposed to those of the Suffolks which wrap around the bottom of the emblem.

Now you mention it the Suffolks crown doesn't seem to be in evidence either!

Can I change my answer please, sir?

Steve.
