My Gibbons concise states the following:
The Waterlow and De la Rue stamps measure exactly 22 mm vertically. These were the ones issued in 1913 (Waterlow) and 1915(De la Rue).
This leaves it as Bradbury printing of either 1918 or a reprint done in 1934. The re-print's background around the portrait consists of horizontal and diagonal lines.
Based on your image I would say it is either Gibbons 413a (olive-brown), 414(chocolate-brown), 415(reddish brown) or 415a(pale brown). Issued in 1918.
That would depend on the colour. Computers are notorious for not accurately displaying colour. If you have a Stanley Gibbons Colour key it would be the best way to determine it.
Scott shows it as olive-brown, catalogue number 179.
