I have photos of two soldiers - here and here 

 

Is the first cap badge of the the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry and the second the Wiltshire Regiment? 

Both look correct!

 Willing to be proved wrong

though.

I think you are probably correct.  The Wiltshire’s badge is clear, but the apparent DCLI badge looks odd, as if made of bullion wire rather than the more usual metal.  I cannot account for that.

Thanks everyone - I've found a record for Walter Charles Kiddle (1st Wiltshire Regiment - 22744).

 

I can't seem to find any record of Frederick John Kiddle. I've been told that he served in Ireland. He was born around 1900, so would have served towards the end of the war or shortly after.
