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

...Neither praise nor blame add to their epitaph but like it be simple as that which marked Thermopylae.
Tell it in England those that pass us by, here, faithful to their charge, her soldiers lie.

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.
