As this photo was taken at Hardwick in 1942, that cannot be Kenneth Roberts as he didn't join the company until after their return from Italy at the end of 1943. I think the person tagged as "Kenneth Roberts" is actually "Solly" Solomon.

I believe that the person tagged as "Kenneth Roberts" is actually Laurence Solomon/Scott (who may have been tagged originally).
