I have uploaded a second image. Most of the group appear to be young recruits, plus a few NCOs. Look closely at the sergeant's lower left arm, and I think I can see two wound stripes. Only one man has medal ribbons. If these ribbons are the British, Victory and 1915 medals, would this (potentially) give a "not before" date?

The informal nature and general setting of the photograph would also seem to be very un-Regular Army, hence my dating to 1918/9. Would this match the WWI Trio? Perhaps my assessment is incorrect?

PS - I have added three more (improved) images - medal group and wound stripes
