West Riding Volunteers?
This identity of the unit depicted in this post card has puzzled me for some time. My best guess is that is is the West Riding Volunteers of the 1914-18 Volunteer Force (K & K 1688), described as the Rose of York resting on a scroll inscribed West Riding Volunteers.
There is no location mentioned on the post card, not even that of the photographer. However, it came with a batch of other cards from the same clearance including one of the Keighley War Hospital, so we are in the right area. Your thoughts are welcome.

This Officer appears to be in Gramam Stewart's photograph in post 10 of this thread.

Yes I agree that they are almost certainly the West Riding Regiment of the Volunteer Training Corps, the badge is unmistakable.
