Up Pompeii Cap and Collars
I know what your thinking
 However I only sat through this film for this pic of Lance Percival, showing an Officers Home Counties Brigade cap badge. Not sure about collars, Sherwood Foresters? Regards Tony.

Collars look like Royal Sussex?

Just looked in Churchill and Westlake, yes they do look to be Royal Sussex. No mention of Brigade use. I assume this combination of cap an collar would indicate a specific battalion? Regards Tony.

From 1958 to 1968 the Home Counties Brigade included Queen's Surreys, Middlesex, Royal Sussex and Queen's Own Buffs. Each regiment wore their own collar Badges. Became the Queen's Regiment in 1968.

Tim is correct when he states Royal Sussex collars. These were changed from a similar collar in gilt or gold anodised which was stubbier and had a shorter plume. Personally i feel that the silver pattern are far more pleasing on the eye compared to the older pattern.
