Nice photo, and it clearly shows the traditional high-rise military kilt, going an inch or two above his waistbelt.

Some of the recent photos I've seen of members of the Royal Regiment of Scotland show what seems to me a misguided thing, chopping the kilts a bit shorter so that the top of the kilt exactly matches the top edge of the waistbelt.



Zillions of old photos show that in the past this wasn't a thing. The waistbelt was worn at the waist, and the kilt came up to wherever it came up to.

Italy, probably ... "D-Day Dodgers"

After some sleuthing, I am 99 percent certain that the un-identified Lieutenant in the photo is
Douglas Charles Haldenby:
