He's
proudly displaying his regimental crest as a "Sergeant's arm badge" on
his right sleeve.
Note that
the tunic is fastened in the officer pattern with olives instead
of button balls. His pillbox hat is also particularly embroidered
- this pattern is specific to the 15th Hussars and called the
"Austrian wave".
The 15th
was stationned in Ireland from 1889 to 1895 before being shifted
to Aldershot.
