The one labelled Kidger 8 is Royal Artillery, from the cap badges, but whether Horse, Field or Garrison I cannot say.  What a complex kit layout!

I hope you dont mind my mentioning this,but that last photo is covered in fingerprints especially the blanket on the chair..Are the photos cardboard?if so not much can be done about them I suppose and thats a shame because it would be a very clear photo otherwise.

I'm wondering if the first pic is of a Kitchener volunteer...

No badges, wierd unifom combination...And very ill fitting!

K1 and K2 especially were "issued" all sorts of wierd and wonderful combinations of kit when they first enlkisted as there was little to none available for them, hence the blue emergency uniforms. The trousers could even be civvy ones! The chap at the back is also in civvies...
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Hi Gorton Boy

I have no names as such family names are Kidger/Preston/Bentley/Lewin that's all I have other than a load of photo's with nothing on them. I've found some army records on Ancestry but that's all.
