Hi Adam,

For info, the units that I can work out, going clockwise-ish from top left, are:

Nevard: 1st West Kent Yeomanry Royal Artillery
?name: 5th Royal West Kent Regt
Kirby: Royal Horse Artillery
G. Morrell: 3rd Regt Royal Horse Artillery
Jones: ?regt
Murray: 74th Regt Royal Artillery
?name, Bombardier: 25 Field Regiment Royal Artillery
Seymour: 239 Battery Royal Horse Artillery
?MacKay: 6th Btn BlackWatch
Costar: Coldstream Guards
?name: (?)7th Btn Green Howards
?Sparrow: (?)54 Battery East Yorkshire Regiment
Grenadier Guards
W. Greig: 5th Btn BlackWatch; Royal Highland Regt
(?)Moorman: Royal Engineers
George S.C: Royal Gloucestershire Hussars
(?)Bennet, Bombadier: Royal Artillery
(?)Burrow: ?Regiment
(?)Freeman: 5th Btn Royal Sussex Regt


As an aside, quite a few of these units are artillery units, (specifically anti-tank) and also "war-service" regiments or infantry regiments converted/retrained to the artillery role.


Hope that this is of some help Adam
