Good Morning. Can anyone please help me identify the Pte shown on the postcard. Unfortunately I'm struggling to decipher his name. I've also typed in his Regimental number on Ancestry and had no luck. 

Kind regards Simon

I would say it's 39654 Pte. W(ilkinson) Clarke, Royal Welsh Fusiliers. MIC is on National Archives, haven't checked if Ancestry has a copy.
