WW1 Insignia Mystery

[Kate16]

Can anyone identify the cap and shoulder badges of this WW1 uniform. I have been looking for my grandfather for many years now and all I have is this one photo, which was taken in Faversham Kent during WW1.

He died in 1947 when I was one year old. We always thought his surename name was Wellfare but have since found out it could have been MacIntosh.

The cap badge looks like its been made around two initials the last one looking like a 'R'. On EBay there is a badge for sale under Gallipoli Relic, it looks similar. Anyway have a look on the link below and see what you think.

The numbers on the shoulder badge looks like the last three numbers end with either 120 or 130. Could you post your grandfathers full name place of birth and dob and will see if we can find anything on him.
