The Mysterious Operation
Found Photograph Hastings Jan 16 2006
This is an intriguing photograph looks like civilian staff engaged in some military administration I wonder if they are civil servants with the War Office- WW1 vintage
The man looking at the camera in civilian clothes seems to have a crown shaped which could be one On War Service badges similar to this one:

that civilians wore to make it clear they were not conscientious objectors and to avoid being given white feathers... and the one nearest the camera also seems to have a badge but it is blurred
The correspondence the woman on the near left is reading seems to be hand written perhaps indicating it has come from a civilian source.
