Can you help?

Seated 3rd from the right is Alfred E. Cannon
Private Collection
This is a photograph of my Great-Grandfather Alfred E. Cannon. He enlisted in the East Surrey's on 7th August 1915 and was discharged on the 20th November 1918 - unfit to fight. My Grandmother remembers visiting him in Brighton whilst he was recovering "...from
being gassed on the Somme". Please can you help me...
Can you shed any light on where and when this photo may have been taken? Are you aware of any records referring to wounded troops convalescing in Brighton? Do you know where and when the East Surrey's may have been gassed on the Somme? I am very happy for this photo to be published by you anywhere in the cause of attracting more attention and information concerning its provenance. If you do not know the answer to my questions may be you know someone who may be able to help me.
If you have any information at all, could you possibly add a comment by clicking on the link below?
