At first glance, I thought this was a photograph of a very young, World War 1 era soldier. After taking a second look, I'm leaning more towards boy scout. Scouting was founded by the sometimes controversial British general and aristocrat, Lord Robert Baden-Powell. With his military background, it was only natural that he would outfit the scouts in uniforms, which were often similar to the military kit of the scout's home country.
