Looks like the "soldier" sitting is wearing some kind of slip on. You can see his sock so no shoe or boot.

This regiment was formed in 1916 as the 1st West Lancashire Field Brigade. All five batteries
were based in Edge Hill, Liverpool. In May 1939, this regiment formed a duplicate regiment,
the 136th Field Regiment the 347th and 248th Batteries transferring to the new regiment. Both
regiments were based at Edge Hill and were under command of this division at the outbreak of
war. The 87th Field Regiment left the U.K. in December 1941, moving to Iraq. It served for the
rest of the war in Iraq, Iran and Palestine.

Nobuki’s father, Chiune Sugihara, was a Japanese diplomat who issued thousands of visas to Jews, to help them escape from the advancing Nazis. Steinman’s grandfather and great uncle received visas from Sugihara in 1940, when other consulates and countries had closed their doors to Jews.

There is a very good book called "Always Faithful" by Dr. William Putney. Putney was a Marine veterinarian who was in charge of a War Dog company on Guam. Very informative on the subject!
