The large group image which includes the scouts is indeed of men wearing hospital blues and I can see at least one who was serving with what looks like the The Prince of Wale's Own (West Yorkshire Regiment) when the image was taken. Also amongst the group are two lance corporal's, one corporal and one sergeant. There is one officer (in uniform) but his rank is not visable. Nice find by the way.

I found the remnants of a photograph album at a carboot sale and bought them. There are a few of people, some with their names on the back. I think I will post them here and see if anyone claims them.
 Here is number 1; Miss E. Ray.

I'm afraid that the name Bloomfield is in my list of names that I am researching and not anything to do with the photos in this thread.

What a brilliant find thanks for sharing. Rootchatters are a very knowledgeable group of folk.

This is fantastic!

I've always been tempted to take home the ones I come across and see if I can find living relatives! There are boxes full of them in Snooper's Paradise in Brighton!

One of the chaps has a home made fiddle , was usually a cigar box. Could this suggest that he was in exile ? i.e. A musician without his usual instrument. Are the scouts in normal English uniform ? From what I can recall, my hat wasn't quite like that

Number 9 is a Military police man.  As he has overseas service chevrons on his right arm (one for each each year) it will be in 1918 as they were only introduced at the end of 1918.
