Have to wait for Jim 1 to pass your way, but I think it must be post WWI but not by much. Officers rank badges were on slash cuffs at end of sleeves in WWI. The officer has plain sleeves.

This is not accurate as officers started wearing rank on the shoulders during the war.  Many also wore ORs tunics and trousers to avoid being picked off as an officer.

The style of hats suggest 1916 onwards whilst the absence of any medal ribbons suggest pre 1919.

Thanks you Alan for your helpful response, it's much appreciated.
