However, I've zoomed into the photo and on his collar badge it looks like the initials 'SWB' which could stand for South Wales Borderers (which would make sense!) - but the badge doesn't actually match the images on Google search, which shows a badge with a sphinx and the word Egypt on it! There is a museum for this regiment in Brecon somewhere
It also stands for 'silver war badge' which was given to soldiers who had served in the army but then had to retire, I believe. However I can't see anything that looks like that badge.

Maybe it doesn't say SWB at all!
