OK. A little more information has emerged. I should perhaps say the original enquiry came from a local village history forum. The man in the photo is Joseph Thomas Collett. Another contributor to the village forum has uncovered the following information which appears in the attachment to this post and the name and place of birth certainly tally. So my question now is, did the East Yorkshire Regiment ever have a pipe band of which the man might perhaps have been a drummer?

Hi, Can anyone identify the uniform in the picture? I know it's a big ask given that the photo is monochrome and the tartan is indistinct, but I wondered if there were any other identifiers that would point to a regiment. Even narrowing things down to a few options might help the original enquirer who is the granddaughter of the man in the photo. Thanks in advance, Pete

Just joined the forum to ask a specific question on identifying a military uniform. I'm ex-RAF (67-71) and now live in NZ since 1986.
