Yes, could be one of three units, Canadian Mounted Rifles, Royal Canadian Dragoons and even possibly Strathcona's Horse, but that one would be a stretch..... Some of the Canadians in the South African Constabulary also wore the maple leaf collar badges.....
Looks like a studio photo before they left or returned to Canada.....
