Help with identifying Regiment of this Horseman

[SANDY_LEISHMAN]

This Man name was John McMaster and probably from the Lanarkshire area of Scotland, any help in identifying his Regiment would be very much appreciated...

Hello Sandy

Could it be The Lanarkshire Yeomanry that is my guess

But I sure the experts will turn up with the right answer

best regards

Hi. I go for the 13th Hussars, according to The A C there was a private with the same name, Army No 16590, who served with them. Regards. Gerwyn

That horse could do with a good feed.Tom

Thanks for the input men, don't think it's either the Lanarkshire Yeomanry or the 13th Hussars looking at what I can see of the Cap Badge, But I've got a feeling it could be some sort of Yeomanry outfit, apparantly he was a coachman berfore the war.

is that no how Cuddies are supposed to look Tom?

Hi Sandy

looking at the shape of the badge, it looks like Kings Colonial - King Edward Horse, another guess

I agree with tom he does need a good feed !!!

Cheer's Sandy

If it's yeomanry, does Lovat's Scouts fit the bill? NA MIC

Hi

It could well be the Kings Eward Horse, but I could not find a John McMaster who served with them, the cap badge for the Lovat Scouts is round, going by the cap badge in the photo, which is blurred due to the light hitting it, looks more to be shaped with a crown on it .

Regards.

Definitely has the look of the K.E.H. and I cannot think of another badge which is similar. Overall, I would go for K.E.H.
