Although this is very pseudo military looking I don't think it is.
Women in organisations such as the Salvation or Church army wouldn't have dressed like this nor women in the military.
This looks v. late WW1 - early 1920's when the women's movement was at it's height so may be more of a political statement than anything else. What the significance of the cap badge is I can't say.
The badge resembles this more than the other.
It's the Ox & Bucks.

Good evening,

She's wearing normal clothing in a dark colour and has a sweetheart brooch for either the Ox and Bucks or the Shropshires.

Back again,

Jim, that badge is pre 1908. The 52nd foot were the Oxfordshire Light Infantry, Bucks was added in 1908 and the no dropped. But you were close ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
