I would put money on Paddy belonging to 2nd Batt Queens Royal West Surrey Regiment. Their war seems to fit the picture. the second of only two regular battalions and as you have a pre war picture, doesnt look like TF.
Quote from the website:
The 2nd Battalion moved to Egypt from Palestine in 1940 and fought in the Battle of Sidi Barrani and at Tobruk. It then moved back to Egypt and then Syria. This was followed by a peaceful year in Ceylon, prior to a move to Burma, where it served as part of the Deep Penetration Forces (Chindits) against the Japanese. After the War, the 2nd Battalion moved back to India, where it remained until 1947.
