The man here is wearing a 1902 pattern uniform which was normal wear
up until the mid 30's.
So for someone born 1910 & joining up late 20's - mid 30's could still be wearing that
style of uniform.
He's wearing a bandolier & carrying a sword so a regular Cavalry Regt. but no way
of knowing which one.

the other young man might be wearing a new fangled soft collar with a collar bar. When did they come in?
Collar bars were popular with Officers during WW1 & became a fashion item post war & into the 20's.
The young woman is the most fashionable with an outfit in a post war - early 20's style.

His dress style indicates 1860's/70's but I suspect more likely 1870's.

He's listed in the war diary casualty lists as being wounded on 9/4/17 but remained at his post.
Probably won his MM here.

Mobilisation is when a man is sent on active service.
In this man's case it happened after his period of training.
