Moody.
The uniform that Harold Moody is wearing in the photo is pre-War Review Order uniform for the 4th and 5th Battalions of the Yorkshire Regiment.
Another photo shows Harold Moody with Private Lawrence Ernest Walker (both men identified on the rear of the photo).

2. Still Serving 23 July 1920, - Regimental Numbers 1607 and 66564. The second
number indicates that maybe he was with another Battalion after re-enlisting.
