This studio photo is that of a private in the Royal Irish Regiment.
1. Would anyone know if there is any significance to the tent-type background?
2. He seems to be carrying a cane - would this have been normal for a private or would it have had a significance or would it merely have been a prop?
3. I have never seen the logo / crest shown on his left sleeve (is it crossed flags??) Would this have had any significance?
