Good detective work, Frank!   :o I agree - I think I see the A and the F.  The Seaforths are fairly likely, perhaps, as the Flecknell boys' uncle was definitely with that regt.
Very happy with all responses,

Are you sure this is Jack and Reginald Flecknell in uniform?  Is this Jack Sisil Croft Flecknell?  If so, there is a record of his service but it is with the Royal Navy and not an Army unit.  It is in the UK, Royal Navy Registers of Seaman’s Services, 1848-1939 provided by Ancestry.  Do you know the other people in the photo?  I am interested as I believe we are related through Jack Flecknell.

Hi CAN150 - thank you for your msg. Not totally sure about any of them apart from Mary Anne Flecknell, whom I have seen in another photo. However, it seems that the tartan uniform was worn by army rather than navy members?  Mary Anne Flecknell nee Severn was my gfather's g aunt.
