    Here is Mr. Timothy Tobin of William Street, an Insurance Agent.

    He works for the Royal Liver Friendly Society.

    His daughter niece Mary is a clerk there.

    I think this is probably the office staff on an outing, and Mary may be here.

    I'm going to guess this was a copy, and that one of the soldiers is a relation of the Mrs. Gough who ordered it.

    The Gambia Regiment is a possibility, per wikipedia:
    The parade uniform of the regiment consisted of khaki drill shorts with red fezzes, along with scarlet zouave-style jackets. The jacket style was inherited from the West India Regiment. The jackets had a yellow edging and red cummerbunds. In the field, the regiment originally wore a variation of the Kilmarnock cap, but just prior to World War II this changed to the slouch hat. Similarly, British officers attached to the regiment initially wore pith helmets, but they also later changed to the slouch hat. Although most uniforms in the RWAFF were similar, the special distinction of the Gambia Regiment was a khaki and brown puggree, and a brown cummerbund.
