Reserve unit?

The first thing I noticed was no unit badges. The next was overseas caps. Then only one set of stripes.

I'm wondering if this may be a unit posted to Ireland in 1942? Right in the beginning...? Don't remember more...

They do not look too squared away. Looks like they need a good NCO.

I get the impression they were living in some pretty primitive conditions there. Probably not many ironing boards or wash stands.

M17 scabbard on the far right guy.

Yes, first on the right, rear row, second man in center, a couple down front rank. Seems to be more than the M1910.
