Help needed WWI British insignia

[Rikster]

Hi all,

Rank of acting CPL, what is the White? band around the cap for?
what is he wearing on his left sleeve (right as you look at it)?
Overseas stripes on right sleeve?

Thanks for your help on this gents.

ps He survived the war and lived a long and happy life dying aged 93 !

Cheers, Rik

Is this the correct cap badge for the Great war period?

White band usually indicates officer training.

The insignia on right sleeve are his corporal's chevrons, & the small point upwards chevrons each indicate 1 year WWI overseas service - they're all the same colour, so he's not wearing one for 1914 service overseas.
The badge lower left sleeve is probably the stripe for wounded - wound stripes were a small thin strip of brass or embroidery, about 2" long, worn vertically - he may be wearing more than one, which can't be seen in the photo. An instruction was issued in 1922 that they be no longer worn.
The cap badge is correct for most battalions of the regiment for WWI - it changed to a different design in 1922, & some battalions wore different badges.
