DM,

That would fit with my Great Grandfather as he was born and raised in Ipswich however, his military record shows him in 1911 with the RGA in Gibraltar!

We think he joined in around 1908/9, I supose he could have switched units for a warm posting?

Is it not the Devonshire Regiment?  Both have a castle as part as of their badge.

I would agree with DM on this being a member from the Suffolks, the form and shape of the cap badge would indicate as such.

What era do you think the photo is?

Could it be the 1860's or 1870's?

After lots of digging the only person in my tree that fits with the Regiment and timescale is a Percy Loates who joined the Suffolk Regiment in 1908 (then the Border Regiment then the MGC).

Thanks to everyone who contributed.

Hi David, I think this uniform is defo around that period, and it should hopefully be the SUFFOLK & NORFOLK YEOMANRY, Their badge has two towers to the castle and a crown in the center. Posted a pic I whipped from the site, accidently mind you, hope this helps.
