To me, what's taken to be a ring looks more like a lacuna in the photograph that was omitted from the cleanup. He's not wearing a ring at all, IMHO.

I always assumed that this was a picture taken after WW1 and that he was injured.

Oh and thanks to all that have retouched the picture, they all look great.

That's what I originally thought too - and on closer inspection I still think so.    :-\

I don't think it's a ring either, it's too close to the knuckle and it's on the wrong finger for a wedding ring. 

However, if he is in a wheelchair, that doesn't  tally with the derby arm band being issued during training, unless he was injured during training.

I think it's just two young brave souls having recently enlisted, getting a photo taken before they leave, and hopefully return.  :-\
