Just wondering if anyone recognises this soldiers regiment please.

Picture found in amongst deceased belongings and trying to narrow down the search.

Cheers

Looking again there seem to be Prince of Wale's feathers in the badge, thus 12th Royal Lancers:

The 12th Lancers lost their horses in 1928 and crewed armoured cars.  The presence of spurs and jodpurs suggests it was pre 1928.
