I'm not sure, but i think he is with the 24th going by his helmit badge. It also looks like he has a Martini Henry Rifle.

Littlehand. I'm not sure he is with the 24th. I maybe wrong, but I think the cap badge is to large.
but it certainly looks like a Martini Henry Rifle. But that rifle was not just used in the Zulu War.
Is there a date when the photo was taken.

24th take a look at the size of the Helmit badge, on your user forum picture of Michael Cane. The Badge looks about the same size at the one on Little Hands photo. And I'm pretty sure that is a 24th Badge Michael Cane is wearing.

I used my trusty ( maybe not so trusty) magnifying glass , i think it is 37th or 30 something regt of foot, if you have access to the actual photo try a magnifying glass.

I will put this one in the no luck box. I have more, but some are too old to scan. I will post the ones that come out with reasonable images. You never know someone might be able to put a name to a face.
