Posting this on behalf of Loburt - can anyone help identify the uniform please. There is a probable Australian connection.

Officer post-1881 in Levee Dress, the absence of collar badges doesn't help too much with the identification of the unit.

Thanks Isandlwana. I guess this is most probably an officer in a British regiment - but might he be from a locally raised colonial unit ?

I would say your soldier is/was a member of the Worcestershire Regiment and agree with Isandlwana re the date.
