Sorry, but there's a lot that's not quite right in this photograph. Firstly, he's too old to be in uniform; secondly, beards only became allowable in the British Army on 29 March of this year, so how had he found time to grow a beard like that? Thirdly, the leather jerkin went out of Service issue after 1945. Fourthly, the kit he is wearing dates from WW2 to the 1950s, and fifthly, the regimental badge is completely unfamiliar to me, and it looks like either an AI mashup of three different unit badges, or one pinched from somebody else's army. And I'll tell you what else: I wouldn't want to be his age, still in uniform and still only a corporal.

Caption underneath on the website says he's "A World War II reenactor'. Since he's in WW2 British Army kit, wearing a beard and with a non-British Army beret badge, my guess is that he's personating someone from the Free Belgian/Dutch/Danish/Norwegian/Czech/Polish forces (on account of the crown on the badge - it has to be from another European monarchy). But at that age, he'd still need to have Field Officer rank at least.Commemorations of Operation Dynamo 75 years on, in pictures

Funny how pipe smokers imagine added character value to an expensive way to indulge nicotine addiction. Many seem to be like guys that dress like lumberjacks that have never had a splinter.
I believe this is more accurate:
