An interesting photo if only to show that the ORs were wearing the standard RA badges during the war. Its possible the 141 (QODY) Fd Regt RA wore the QODY badge but they may have worn the RA as well.
Does anyone know when/if the Dorset yeomanry badge was resurrected? The 2nd pattern with the Great War title was seled in 1935:
badge, label, wax seal.
