cornwall col,
You may already have seen this: https://www.staffshomeguard.co.uk/DotherReminiscencesWarkssstaffshg.htm#stoc
I can do a look-up for you in a list which gives the names of the officers (not NCOs or Other Ranks, unfortunately) who were serving in the Battalion on 1st February 1941.
Otherwise little information seems to have come to light. Let's hope your question will change that!

Do you realize this is the same Carlton Cinema which received a direct hit on 25th October 1940 when 20 people were killed? On the anniversary last year a memorial was unveiled and a service held on the site in memory of the people who died. One lady who attended was a child at the time and evacuated to the countryside with her sister. That night her parents went to the cinema and both were killed.
