So if it is John it will be post this date, which would concur with JK's mid\late 1930's.

Richard - how did you locate his number?

From John Tyler's transcription of the enlistment books held at the archives.

Is this available to view online?

No.

But the enlistment books are in the Regimental archive.

Just to add a bit if I may, the use of collar badges on OR's Service dress tunics was almost never seen during WWI, so I'd agree with the majority opinion that it is likely to be interwars, he is probably wearing what is known as the 1922 pattern tunic and the 1902 cap, the cap except for guards units was hardly seen after 1939 and though the tunic did continue into WWII and after, again you rarely see them worn during WWII.
