Thanks Frank, I feel I am getting somewhere with this! Two weeks ago I didn't know the photograph existed, I found it in a very bad way behind another framed family photo. We think the guy second from the right is my great uncle Ernest, but will probably never know for sure x

Thank you for posting the link to the badge and description - I do enjoy learning new info.
