Thanks once more, Ted, for the medical help.
Now I know there was a purpose that no-one put a name on the photo as it gave me something else to get my teeth into!
I am still on a high with this find and must mail it to my cousin who probably doesn't even know the photo exists.
Best wishes,
Rach

Just another little bit of information from the other forum - the bandolier means that he was in the Mounted Engineers. Again this fits in with his attestation papers - 'What is your Trade or Calling?' His answer was 'Horseman'.
What a day I am having!
