Hello all!

I am trying to identify this 5th Royal Irish Lancer.

I have been in touch with the Regimental Museum who have been able to tell me that he is in a private's uniform and that there are 229 possible persons with 3 bars for the 5th. However, they also could not understand why he would have the other medal which they identified as a West East Africa Service Medal.

If anyone has any thoughts / insights I would be very grateful - I am having the painting cleaned/restored so it may reveal more info in time.

Many thanks
