Hi Steve, I know little about army uniforms, but for what its worth - in similar circumstances, the National Army Museum informed me that that style of cap he is wearing was called a forage cap, which "became obsolete c.1902 and certainly didn't linger much after that date." My man was a regular - your chappie may have been a volunteer or reservist using out-dated uniform - so don't take that date as gospel. The cap badge appears to be a stylised exploding grenade - usually worn by grenadiers I believe.
