Help needed to identify sleeve badge

[drjimbo]

Hi,
I'm sorting through my grandfather's mementos and came across a photo of a group of unknown (but somehow related) WW1 army soldiers labelled No. 3 Section.

I've extracted an image of the officer's right sleeve and the left shoulder of the soldier sitting next to him.

Can anyone tell me which unit the soldiers belonged to?

Thanking you for your help.

The shoulder title looks like LG, for Life Guards, and the spur for a Horse Riding instructor.

It would be nice to see the rest of the picture.

Cap badge looks like ASC to me.

Not a good image or angle, so the shoulder title could possibly be ASC, not LG.

Not ASC sholder, does look like LG., Can't make out the cap badge.

Does look like LG though and it does look like ASC cap badges, May be a silly question but did the asc attach to fighting units to resupply them daily.

Did your grandfather actually serve in the Army in the Great War, if so and if you think he served with the men in the photograph, then clearly, the obvious thing to do is simply tell us what his name was!

He served with the ASC as a driver, BUT he does not appear in this group or at least not recognizably so. He had two brothers who also served in the ASC, but on the MT side. He had a half brother who served in the 3rd London Regiment and another who served with the Queen’s Regiment Labour Coy. A cousin served with the Royal Field Artillery Corps.
I do not have any known photos of these other guys, hence trying to identify via unit served.
Does this help?

Thanks.
Does the white? lanyard have any significance?

Some comments. The men are all wearing bandoliers, which would indicate a mounted regiment. The sergeant's swagger stick is a riding crop and he is wearing spurs, so they must be a cavalry unit of sorts. Could the title be DG? Dragoon Guards?
Cheers,
