Default Help please identifying uniforms

This photo shows the Jacob family of Cambridge posing. I'm not sure which War this is, and I think the man on the right as you look at the picture is wearing a Canadian uniform, as he had spent some time in Canada before returning home to the UK

The chap in the middle has a number 27 on his uniform.

Is anyone able to identify their uniforms please as I have no idea which service they served in. Thank you

Val, I'd say certainly WW1, you might find this site useful.

Yes Shona, they are my Mother's Uncles. Feel free to pm me if you think we may have a connection.

Thank you for the website Daphne, it looks a useful one so I will bookmark it and go through it later with the photo next to me on the desk.

I have found it useful to blow up pictures digitally and identify hat badges. I have and can photocopy a useful chart of regimental cap badges if you need one.
