Uniform Identification

[EeyoreSussex]

I am trying to identify the man in this photo. Other than the regiment, which is clear, can anyone tell me if this is WW1, his rank and anything else that would help narrow it down?

I'm grateful for any help.

You may need the Anglian Regimental Museum to verify when this shoulder title was used. I have seen 'WW1 period' shoulder titles that just say "Cambridgeshire". This may be what they used when it reverted to a TA battalion of the Suffolk Regiment in 1921.

Two stripes = Corporal

Thanks to you both for your comments.

Interesting about the shoulder title. If anyone has anything else to add, may be around the shoulder title, that'd be great.
