This would suggest that he was an officer but I could not see badges of rank on his cuffs or shoulders

Different one I think, Bernard.
The Staffordshire knot on its own doesn't help much does it ?

Dont think either of them are officers, the Yeomanry regiments
dress included spurs etc right up to 1939.Can remember my elder
brother being in the Warwickshire Yeomanry TA wearing spurs and a bandolier across his chest, then when the war started he joined the RAF and spent the entire war in the Suez Canel Zone.

I have just seen this thread. Firstly agreed there are soldier of the first war period as the tunic they are wearing are of that pattern. Secondly Puttees, it is well documented that these were used to prevent stones and other annoying objects hitting the trouser and then entering the boot and creating difficulty marching. The stripes that you note are not wound stripes but overseas service stripes so he has spent four years overseas. A wound stripe would be a vertical stripe on the LEFT sleeve.

#25, I would say that the first photo of the man wearing riding clothes was either RA, (based on the white lanyard) or Service Corps, the second photo is definitely Royal Worcester's. Paul
