cap badges and shoulder titles a bit battered but at the princely sum of 50 pence each nothing lost !, the framed pic is of the mirfield (w.yorks) home guard platoon, lady selling it told me her uncle was on it, front row have Vickers machine gun, lee-enfields and a Thompson sub-machine gun with round magazine !, did a bit of googling for mirfield home guard and found a different pic on line but same guys and it named quite a few !!, so was very pleased,

thanks all !, I do like the photo, as its nicely framed will leave it as it is, not sure what battalion mirfield was, but as they are wearing KOYLI cap badges that would make them one of the west riding battalions 40-52 which were badged to the koyli, anyone know for sure ?, (the pic I found on the web site says it is the northorpe platoon)
all the best,
