Hi there, I know this is a long shot, but I wondered if anyone could suggest a way I could identify the men in this photograph? Specifically, the man seated on the ground, in the middle. As I say, it's a long shot. Thanks in advance

Where collar badges can be seen, they look like flaming grenades. These are worn by Royal Engineers or Artillery, I am not sure about Grenadier Guards and some Fusiliers as well.
Would any of that fit with what you know?

The bearded chap seated far right looks ancient! Wonder what his backstory could be! Would probably omit him from imperial regiments, but as a medical man has found a way to serve?

Thanks for your replies. I don't know anything about this pic at all and was hoping to track down their names. It does feel like a needle in a haystack chance though.

I agree, that man on the right doesn't look like a spring chicken!
