The Scottish officer’s bonnet badge appears to be either Gordon or Cameron Highlanders to my eyes. I can’t discern the formation signs, but the other ranks in the rear row have a mixture of 1937 and 1941 (simplified) battle dress blouses, which helps with a time window. I’m not 100% positive what the make up of a WOSB was, but wouldn’t have thought it’d require so many other ranks, whereas the number present is close to the established strength of an infantry brigade HQ. I imagine that such staffs would have more impetus to have their photo taken than a WOSB too. Unfortunately I guess we’ll never know for sure as the evidence is too thin.
