Thanks ShaunJ was beginning to doubt myself.
Someone had this photo for Pte 15148 J J Scholes saying he enlisted into Manchesters lied about his age and was dismissed. Which isn't what the Medal Card and Enlistment papers say.

Yes definitely a commissioned officer by his uniform. Cannot see his rank as rank insignia was worn on lower sleeve back then. Great photo.
Residing in Batemans Bay, Australia, but originally from 'Mother England', transported to HM Colonies in 1966.
