My first thought was these are bandsmen's uniforms, rather than military.

The original photo is really small my grand aunt now sadly deceased  owned it said it was her fathers nothing more is known but Ive made recent discoveries of family in the military ww1 and was hoping I might be able to link this picture somehow

It is a shame that now more info was not written on the back
