It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

I think it is post war, and  not in the UK. They look to be wearing tropical kit, I think all the cap badges are RASC.

Plenty of Army in Malta, at St. Patrick's, St. Andrews, St. George's and  Tigne Barracks. I don't recognise the building, not that that means anything.

Good evening,

I would agree, all RASC and post ww2. To me the buildings look european rather than mediteranean or middle east ( Palestine).

I'm thinking post war Germany looking at the road and style of windows.

Had a look at the photo on the restoration thread.  Could be same era, maybe Libya (we used to go there - had to take the pith helmets of course).  Can't really say whether anyone is on the other pics.
Perhaps bring it across to this thread for others to look?
