Can I first say what a fabulously detailed scan of a photo. I might suggest to the mods (ie scrimnet) that this one is held as a model example of the type of scan we like to work with. You should see some of the ones we get on here, size of a postage stamp and barely showing the man let alone uniform details.

Anyhow, I digress....  :)
Battery sergeant major
Medal some version of long service and good conduct medal I'd say, regular army/volunteers.

Duly noted in new title... :)

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.
