Unidentified Uniform Help, Please

(1/1)

K10859:
Afternoon.
This photo shows my paternal grandfather on the right of this photo.  His cap badge is HMS Kestrel.  He joined the Navy in 1911 at Chatham.  I don’t know who the other two men are, but wondered about the uniform of the man seated.  If anyone would share some knowledge, I would be most grateful.  Thanks!  (I have colourised the photo with an app).

PhiloNauticus:

The man seated is wearing what was known then as 'Class III' uniform - this was worn by Stewards / Cooks / Writers / Artificers. 

K10859:
This is just what I wanted to know, thanks so much.  So, what’s the badge on his cap? 

PhiloNauticus:
Anchor with crown embroidered in dark red.

K10859:
Many thanks!
