WW1 Silver Trophy Cup and Large Framed Photo Brannon Served India

An unusual pairing and I was going to split them but they have been together 100 plus years so its only fair they stay together, the first item is a silver fully hallmarked trophy cup which has been engraved with ‘C.L.S. O.T.C. Platoon cup No 3 Sgt A.C. Brannon 1915, research shows an interesting history for Alfred Charles Brannon, he has a set of service papers viewable at Ancestry but they give little about his service and centre around his joining an OTC at the age of 17, by 1915 he was a sergeant and on his medal index card he went from 2nd lieutenant in the Hampshire regiment to Lieutenant with the 7th Punjabis Indian army and subsequently Captain, I’ve found odd bits of info on him like in 1917 he was gassed and invalided and in 1919 he was in the Persian Gulf. With the cup is a large framed photo of Alfred in uniform, on the back and added at a much later date is ‘Captain Brannon uncle Charles born 1889 Isle of wight served in India died 1974’ this is close information, the family started out in Surrey and ended up on the Isle of Wight, Charles died here in Norfolk in 1969. The silver cup comes in good condition with a few dents here and there and the picture is also good but shows signs of age, the cup stands 3.5 inches high and the frame is 22 inches x 16.
