What information can I find from this photo (uniform/medals etc)?

[emmawoodhouse]

I have been given a photograph of my grandfather, who I believe served in the Great War.

I know very little about him, and nothing about the army.

I am hoping that his medals and uniform might help me to trace him.

The things I do know are his name, Timothy Ryan, born 1897 or 1898, and that he was from Tipperary, Ireland.

I would be very grateful indeed if anyone who recognises anything about the photograph could help.

Many thanks.

Odd - there's a paper clip alongside the post, but no attachment!

Can you post the photo? I might be able to help out with medal/ribbon IDs.
