Hi David.

I believe that is a Cheshire Regiment cap badge. The soldier also wears the Musician trade badge on his sleeve.

Gunner

Thanks Gunner, it must be one of Edward's brothers(or -in-law), can't be his dad surely.

[edit] there are quite a number of  Llewellyn's in the Cheshire Regiment. 

Edward Llewellyn's Mother Frances Llewellyn lived at 56 Smeaton Street, Kirkdale, Liverpool.

Liverpool had quite a close relationship with the Cheshire Regiment, as one side of the Mersey was a King’s Regiment recruiting area and t’other side was Cheshire’s.
