Date and ID military photo possibly WW1

I'm assuming this photo is from WWI, but it would be great if it is possible to narrow down the date. Also I have no idea who is in the photo, so if any information can be gleaned from uniforms, etc., that would be most useful.
Thanks,
Alexander

I would suggest this is pre WW1 & sometime during the Edwardian era.
Their helmet plates are indistinct but the lanyards suggest Artillery.
As the warm weather kit suggests this was taken overseas.

They're not British. Probably French troops. Found similar image for Congo 1905.

Thanks Jim, Seoras, & Regorian.
Interesting, that is earlier than I was expecting. If they're not British then I have no clue who they could possibly be, or why and how we came to have the photo...

They're wearing British uniforms (post 1908 I think).
