I have tried to enter the URL for an image with this post, not sure if it will work as it is the first time i have done this.
Anyway, if it works i wonder if anyone can identify the badge on this soldiers cap. I dont know anything about him apart from his name is Robert and he was 40 yrs old in 1918 (this is written on the back of the photo).
If anyone can help i would be very grateful
Thanks
Andy

I'm getting better now at spotting the difficult-to-see barrel of the gun, - definitely Royal Artillery again, see

This looks like the most probable one it belongs to "The Green Howards"
in the British Army, a Yorkshire Regiment.

Look at the motto scroll at the bottom of the badge, that for the Green Howards is good bit different from that for the RA.
