Hello

I would be grateful if somebody could confirm the cap badge and collar badges on this photograph.

Many thanks.

Likely to be 6th or 7th Battalion Essex Regiment late 1930s to early 1940s.
1/6th and 2/6th Battalions were converted and transferred as 64th and 65th Searchlight Regiments RA in 1940

In 1935 the 7th Battalion was converted to an Anti-Aircraft role and transferred to 59 AA Brigade RA.
