In front of the wall
I have no clue as to who these men are - are they soldiers or sailors? Or civilians?

Posing for a photograph
Group of soldiers including a sergeant (three stripes) and two corporals (two stripes) - the cap badges look like they're from one of the Staffordshire regiments. I can't make out whether they're North Staffs (Prince of Wales feathers above the knot) or South Staffs (crown above the knot).

Unknown soldier and wife
I'm unable to decipher the photographer's details on the left-hand edge of the card. The soldier's cap has the King's Shropshire Light Infantry badge.
