A few possibilities.

I'm going to ask the standard question in these cases:
Could we see it a bit bigger please? A high-res scan would help immensely.

Hi

It is difficult to be sure from the picture, but it looks like the "County of London Battalion's" cap badge. There are quite a few others that look very similar, a real close up of the badge would be needed to to verify it.

If its any help on my dad's birth certificate of 1915 [he is the baby in the photo] it states his father's occupation as 'Bricklayer' - Surrey National Reserve. Grandpa went out to India just after this photo was taken. Mistyrose

  Have you tried Military Records, it would help a search if you have his first name and year/ place of birth.

He is also wearing a 'On Imperial Service' badge showing that he joined a territorial unit before the end of September 1914 and had signed Army Form E624 (obligation for Imperial Service).
