They are all, to the best of my knowledge, military. My grandfather, centre sitting, was gassed during the war, so that would not be naval. Also, cannot see why it would be mixed regiments. He would have been in an Irish regiment almost certainly, and am pretty sure this would have been a "memento" photograph.

I think Patsy is on the correct track. But all those men are military, not naval. Naval sweaters are always pull-overs. These button all the way down. And the man second from the right has a stripe down hispants, military. Also his hat (on his leg) is military. the two men at the left, front row, appear to have lost a leg. If the hat emblems can be enlarged, start there. They appear to be Regimental Crests. Each is different, indicating the men are from several different units. Two of the men are Captains, double bars on their collars. The two wear the bars on different collars, indicating they are from different armies. So at least two different countries are represented in the photo, maybe more. Try to enlarge the hat pins, or the arm patches two have on. There are books in most libraries that have colored photos of the different countries military emblems and patches.
