Default Home Guard Group plus..

An intriguing photo that I'd like to know more about. Taken by a London photographer the group includes four HG officers - one with RAF wings - an MC winning officer from the General List, an officer from the Devonshire Regiment, a Grenadier Guardsman, a soldier of the Border Regiment, a Mechanised Transport Corps driver, two members of the WVS, the hatted one apparently having a Surrey county bar below her arm badge, and three Home Guards wearing the cap badge of the Queens Royal West Surreys. All the HG officers have war service chevrons suggesting a date of 1944

With a clear Surrey connection could this be connected with the Home Guard School set up at Denbies near Dorking?

Comments and suggestions welcome.

The Grenadier could be HG couldn't he?
Wasn't there a HG unit who wore the cap badge?
Although he is wearing chevrons with grenade and a 37 pattern belt.......
