I have trawled the internet, visited the military museum in Lancaster and taken 2 of them to the Who Do You Think You Are Live exhibition in London, but can't seem to get anywhere with them.
Any ideas would be great.
Thankyou

No 1 is a Fireman, and its a long time since they used military ranks. Possibly one of the City Fire Brigades.
The mystery Soldier I've posted it on a military web site.
If they don't know, then nobody will.
The young lady in uniform, looks like an early form
of majorettes.
