Looking at it again I don't think Territorials.
The ordinary men are all young & there's no old sweats in this which you would expect to see with a VR Coy. or even a Regular Coy.
Cadets perhaps.
Eastney Barracks?

That's a good shout jim1, there is a Royal Marine barracks at Eastney isn't there, I spent a hellish week there when I was in the Sea Cadets  :(

The officer was conspicuous in his different colour uniform?

T,hey made it easy for snipers to spot the officers, didn't they?

The cap badge is very distinctive. Could it be Kings Own Scottish Borderers ? http://www.mycollectors.co.uk/StockPhotos/badges/Cap-Badges/kings-own-scb-cap-badge-qc.jpg
