Top one is KOSB, bottom one I'd suggest Army Service Corps - Motor Transport

Could the bottom one be Royal Engineers?

Thanks lads, here are 2 more

Either LH Artllery or Forth Royal Garrison Artillery

Choices are Gordons; BW or ASC

Second one looks like Royal Engineers badge. Definitely not Gordons or Black Watch.

I think the second is Army Service Corps http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.rcasc.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/ASC_Officers_cap_badge_B.129184006_large.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.rcasc.com/casc_1901-1914/cap_and_collar_badges_1901-1914&h=557&w=537&sz=39&tbnid=kfESqaYGXZh5xM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=87&zoom=1&usg=__UICx7GjzJ5hviplIMbPfp7REbSw=&docid=eAPTpOE0YJ8rDM&sa=X&ei=BsJnUrSdMIGI0AWVkoGgDw&ved=0CDwQ9QEwBQ

I would go with ASC too. It is just a shame the badge and shoulder title isn't as sharply captured as the puttees and seat at the bottom of the photograph.

I don't think it's possible to distinguish different artillery branches from the badge. What was LH Artillery? It's not a term I'm familiar with.

LH Artilley - other info I have on man is Lowland Heavy Battery Artillery.

This is one who is in either in Forth Royal Garrison Artillery or Lowland Heavy Battery Artillery.

This one could be Royal Field Artillery

However, person at bottom right looks like above to me. He has different initial for forename although surname is same.
What do you think?

The bottom three are MGC (Mounted)

You are on a hiding to nothing with the second photo I'm afraid.
