Anybody who may know the answer.

He looks  as though his uniform belongs to an expensive Public School.

Can you get a close up of the cap, please?

I think caps were the norm. Eton school boys wear top hats.

Just wondering, did he row as part of a team, it looks like crossed oars on his cap.

Hi, just coming back in regarding the cap, I think that it is along the lines of something like the attached link (But not that particular one  ;D ) .

Also, is that a stretch of water behind him?
