Can anyone identify this unit?

Possibly yeomanry? Or a group on training?  Could they be 2nd Dragoon Royal Scots Greys?  Or a Yorkshire regiment?  Would appreciate any thoughts.  Unfortunately the insignia isn't very clear.  Many thank, Candice.

Welcome to the forum. I don’t think the photo is WW1, looks like a Bren gun, and one of the soldiers appears to be wearing battle dress. What is the provenance of the photo please?

The WO seated centrally is a QMSI from the Small Arms School Corps and his squad of students are infantrymen of various regiments.  The date around 1937-38 I think.  It looks like the Middle East, perhaps Libya.  The students are mostly wearing canvas duck fatigue suits but one is wearing a suit of battle dress.  The khaki field service cap worn by one man was introduced in 1937.
