The Adjutant and Medical Officer were from the Territorial Force.
My great Grandfather was an Officer in the Yorkshire Dragoons, after a time in France he returned to help with the training of 3/1 Yorkshire Dragoons.
In 1917 he became Adjutant of the 9th West Riding Volunteers, he's on the far right of the photo the medical Officer is back row, 3rd from left.
The rest of the officers wear the OSD Royal Arms cap badge.
Hope this is of interest.
