Studio portrait of a Lance corporal in the Welsh Regiment wearing spectacles and holding a baby. The soldier wears spectacles and displays a divisional shoulder patch depicting a drum on his left upper sleeve. This appears to be that of the 45th Infantry Division. At one point in 1914 it was envisaged that Welsh troops would accompany the 45thn Division to India, though the idea was dropped shortly after. This photograph may have been taken in anticipation of service in India. He also appears to have a medal ribbon on his chest.
