Hi Jill 

It is definitely a First World War photo, but as none of them is wearing a hat showing the regimental badge, it will be difficult to name their regiment.

It is a super photo! Is one of them your ancestor?

Hi Judy,

Yes, the gentleman sitting down, we think is William Gaunt, if this is WW1 then it is most likely to be him, he was born abt. 1885.  He lived in Bradford.  I'll see if I can find another photo with the hat evident.

thanks so much for the feedback on this!

regards,
Jill

Wow this is a wonderful job, thanks so much.  The detail is amazing, right down to the mud on his boots!!

Cheers,
Jill

Heres my effort.

It's lovely Mike!  Thank you so much.  Do you agree that the photo would be WW1.  I have just been reflecting that the person that we think that is, was born in 1885.  Would he have been a bit old for service in WW1 do you think?

Cheers,
Jill

Hi,
I'm no expert, but cant resist putting my nose in!  It would have to be a mounted regiment going by the spurs they are wearing (of course stating the obvious!)

Thanks for your input Bev.  Everyone is more of an expert than I am on this matter, so all help is gratefully received.  And of course you're right, I had never even noticed the spurs!!!!!
