Out of focus cap badges - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

Five of my uncles fought in WW1. Two were with the Kings Royal Rifle Corps, one was with the Buffs, one was with the RFC/RAF and the other with the RNVR. The 3 in the army were killed in action, one in 1915 and 2 in 1918. One was killed 1 week before armistice. I have photos of two of them, but the cap badges do not appear to be the KRRC or the Buffs, although the definition is of very poor quality. I also have a photo of the 3rd Uncle and his cap badge is the Buffs.
Does anyone have any idea from the shape as to what regiment my Uncles belonged to.

In the first and fourth photographs I'm pretty confident that it's the cap badge of the East Surrey Regiment...

Second left front row looks to be Royal Artillery.
Cheers Tony.

I think it pretty definite that the last photo on the right is E. Surrey. He is wearing the late war slip on shoulder titles as well. A very slight fellow.
I also think there is a RA badge on the man sitting as well. Just can't make out the other badges, but several could be possible.

I would agree that 1 and 4 look like East Surrey as well. Best rgds
