The 9th West Riding Volunteers were not part of the Volunteer Force, right? Were they New Army?

Glad you liked the photo, it is indeed a treasure.
Yes, they were Volunteer Force, started as 9th (Huddersfield) Bn Volunteer Training Corps, then became part of the West Riding Volunteer Regiment, then on formation of the Volunteer Force became the 2nd Volunteer Battalion Duke of Wellingtons (West Riding) Regiment.
Disbanded 1919, I think
