You'd need to get a zoom in on the cap badge of one of the lads....looks (from a good squint though it may be West Yorkshire Regiment) But really do need a larger image of cap badge :)

Hi

I had a 5x great grandfather that was in the forces. We didn't know which regiment.  If the photo is of an ancestor you know the name of do a search with the name in the uk national archives web page and it could help you it help me and gave me both regiments he was in and what age he was when discharged.

Hope this helps you

One more charge and then be dumb,

        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
