Any chance of a more detailed close-up on one of the buttons?

The buttons look like General service, nothing signicant there.

a close up of the lump on his right shoulder might throw something up.

Here's a close up of the button and shoulder badge, it's a photocopy of a photo, so this is the best I have.

Thanks for your help.

The shoulder title isn't that of the Sherwood Foresters. Great War period titles were much larger 'Notts and Derby' affairs in a rough oval shape. It might be Leicesters but it could be others as well. Sorry, can't help further.

Hi Jim,

In fact that is very useful, as it was in a folder with the name of a sherwood foreseter relative on the front. I had my suspicions as this guy doesn't look like the brothers of the sherwood forester at all (he's twice the size for a start)...

Thanks
