Identifying uniform

[Ashtone]

Not Australian, but FindMyPast have a W Bratby (Lance-Corporal) of the 1 Battalion Leicestershire Regiment in their Anglo-Boer War Records 1899-1902 collection.

The above might be the following:
Year: 1894
Location: Rugby, Warwickshire
Name: William Bratby
Born: 1876

Thanks, Hillhurst for that record. Just not sure if its our fellow though ?. Why would a very, very distant English relative find his portrait in an Australian family whose ancestor was transported out here?  Trying to think laterally now and looking at bands, organisations in the 1900's that made have worn a uniform like this ? Maybe its not even military ?. Thank you so much to everyone who had a look and tried to help. It is really appreciated.

This is definitely the uniform of the New South Wales Militia Infantry - the white collar tabs are quite distinctive. The uniform was worn from about 1895 (when New South Wales was a separate colony with its own military), until a few years after Australian federation.

From the detail of the uniform, he was probably a member of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th NSW Infantry Regiments.  These were all Militia units, based in Australia - NSW units actually serving in South Africa during the Boer War wore different uniforms from this.

Thank you T1. This fits the age of who we think it is. Amazing ! Thank you so much for this information. I feel this is the right path. Again, really appreciate your help. Cheers
