Cap badge suggests he was with the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment

Thats right JB, he died in action at the Theatre of war, along with his brother Robert, sadly we have no photos of Robert.

Found 2 R Pilkington on the CWGC site, both in the LNLR, presume one is your relative. A relative of mine served in the same regiment, survived the War but died in January 1919, buried in a war grave in Ince cemetery.
