Thank very much Alan.

Derek Barton, whose excellent Royal Artillery website you may be aware of, is also of the opinion that the photo is most likely from 1938/39. He agrees with what you say here about the uniform, and also advises that it would be most unlikely for a Territorial unit to have use of a military vehicle prior to 1938.

Great stuff, thank you.
