I can highly recommend the site suggested by Roy, (1914-18 Invasionzone) .

You have to register but if they don't know the answer on there then no-one will

If you want to try Family Tree Forum address is http://www.familytreeforum.com/index.php
There is a Board on there called Family Tree Photos where you can upload your photo and there are members on the board who seem to be quite expert in identifying uniforms. The downside is that you have to register on the forum, although it is free and you have to upload your photo via Photobucket. Not very straightforward I know but it is really worth it. I registered because I had an old photo of my GG Grandfather in uniform.

Researching:
Weldon - Castletown in County Meath Ireland, Delaney - Cork Ireland, Nettleton - St Martin in the Fields in London, Coote - Essex and Casement - Isle of Man.

I have a photocopy of a photo of my Gt Grandfather and Gt Uncle wearing what appears to be military uniforms both different c 1910 plus. Would anybody have any clues of where I would find out more about the regiment/service my relatives belonged to on the internet? Family don't know or too old to remember anything.
Thank you
