Two bottom lads I would say are Royal Naval Air Service....do you have possible names?
The top one is Army but hard to identify unless you can decipher the shoulder title

Ady

Hello, Thanks for all the replies.
I don't have names for the 2 brothers in Naval uniform, but they are from my Welsh side of the family.
Possible surname is Walters.
What sort of date would the uniform be?

The RNAS and the RFC combined in April 1918 to become the RAF. Therefore the uniforms (in theory at least) pre-date this.
