I think we have to be looking at 6th, 9th or 11th London Battalion

The three had virtually identical badges:

My thanks to everyone for their input. I will try for a clearer photo, it may take me a little time as technical apparatus is not my forte. Mistyrose

Hes a Territorial soldier who signed the Imperial Obligation to serve overseas...hes got the Imperial Service Badge on his chest.
Hopefully someone will ping the correct TF Batt.

Ady

Actually mate...

I don't think it is the ISB...It's a little too small, in the wrong place, and looks suspiciously like the end of a watch chain...Note that there is no button visible, nd it appears to have been poked through the button hole! ;D

Well, I'm afraid it is not the usual East Surrey Regt badge, as they had a star shaped thing, and not the Rifles Maltese Cross...

BUT...

6th bn East Surreys DID have the Maltese Cross with a large centre, such as this, and were a TF unit...

Lets go for them then!!

One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Somewhere here is a section on badges.
