Mystery Soldier

Some photos belonging to my late father recently surfaced after being lost for 15 years. One of them is of a soldier, WW1 I believe, seated for a portrait and also mounted. The photographer according to the back of the postcard is F.D. Shackley, Bamber Bridge, Nr. Preston. I have no idea who this man is, (although he must be related to my father in some way) and there is no one left alive who would know. All I can do is play detective, and ask for advice from those more knowledgeable than me. My father's family come from Salford, Stockport, or Tring areas. I know this isn't Accrington related, but I know there are one or two Accy Web members who are very well versed in WW1.

I looked up WW1 cap badges on the web, and think it might be the Cheshire regiment. Can anyone help me?
