    I am trying to find out which British regiments were training the 6th Belgian Infantry Brigade in the province of Antwerp in 1945 prior to operations Veritable, Grenade and Plunder. I have only one name of a Lieutenant
    'Edgar Bill' or 'Bill Edgar'.
    In June and later on in 1945 also there were British officers training the Belgian Infantry Brigades in Northern Ireland. Here I have a picture but I cannot identify the cap badges of the 1st and 4th man in the front row (from the right) (the other ones are Belgians)

    Had a look but too small & blurry to iD.
    Any chance of a more hi-res scan of their heads ?

    This is the best it gets, 1200 dpi. (original picture measures only 3 by 2.3 inches and was taken
    with a simple box camera)

    Thanks in advance for your effort,

    Correction of the initial post : which British regiments were training the 6th Belgian Infantry Brigade in the province of Antwerp in 1945 prior to operations Veritable, Grenade and Plunder. I have only one name of a Lieutenant 'Edgar Bill' or 'Bill Edgar'.

    6th Belgian Infantry Brigade should be '11th Belgian Infantry Brigade, 3rd Battalion'
