I managed to take a copy of this photo, which I recently discovered in a scrap book in the Household Cavalry Museum, compiled by the Royal Dragoons Sgts Mess. Unfortunately, the book is in a terrible state, most of the items being stuck in with sticky tape, which leaves a very bad residue when it dries out. This is one of the tasks I shall be dealing with trying to save the contents from this scrap book, which contains some fantastic photos as well as other items. Although I recognise some of the faces it would be great to put names to all the faces on this photo. I know the CO was Lt Col Timbrell as I have his medals in my collection.

Hi eveyone, Thanks for the answers. I will ask the curator if we can remove it from the album so that it can be archived somewhere safely & get a descent copy of the photo on my next visit to Windsor. There is much more where this came from!
