The officer in the 'beret' looks like it has a dark hackle in the front. His uniform also has black buttons, a dark lanyard and what looks like a black Sam Browne.
Also the beret is poorly shaped, and I don't think any soldier by that period in the war would not know how to shape and wear a beret properly (General officers excepted, of course). Could it be, and I'm no expert here, a Caubeen rather than a beret?
Cheers,
Dan.
