There are only 8 names, and 8 men pictured. #9 and #10 are likely the name of the inn and the location. They are mostly officers:

the second last word I believe is: April

Could the last "word" be a badly scribbled "1916" or 191_?

I tried to see if I could find any officers with the less common names and had no luck.

Can anyone with better eyes, and a better eye for uniforms, tell me if (a) the people in the next two cards are from the same unit and (2) are the officers and senior NCOs in the postcard in these group shots?
