Plenty of military experts on here, so why not try here first?

You haven't even told us what info you're hoping to discover from this photo, so hard to say any more right now.
Name interests: Boulton, Murrell, Lock, Croxton, Skinner, Blewett, Tonkin, Trathen.

Is there a Regimental Association for the RSF (not sure what the RSF stands for!).

If so, that would be a good start.

i assume its national service era?

RSF -  I assume in this case means

"Royal Scots Fusiliers"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Scots_Fusiliers
Grant in Tipperary
Piper in Tipperary
Blong in Leix
Watson in Offaly
Pugh in North Wales
Evans in North Wales
Proctor in Edinburgh
Steedman in Stirling

If you get in touch at

They may be helpful.
The RHF were made up from RSF and HLI merging.
