Hi Mike,
The chap 4th from the right is my grandfather James Simpson who had been a Sergeant/WOII with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders until December 1917. He was commissioned to the KOSB on 26th June 1918. I have no idea what the uniform regulations were in an OTB, i.e. whether his uniform was standard officers' kit, or whether it was related to either the A&SH or the KOSB. I've just seen a photo of cadets in an OTB on the Imperial War Museum site and they're wearing a variety of cap badges which suggests the badges are those of their original Regiments and I agree with the suggestion of the Lancs Fusilier cap badge. Thanks very much for your observations.
