Military Funeral - Brompton Barracks
Ten years and few days later I have identified the location as Brompton Barracks, Gillingham, Kent which is now the Royal School of Military Engineering (RSME).
Here is a circa 1910 pre WW1 postcard and a current photograph showing the left wing of the building following a recent refurbishment project.
However, i am no wiser as to the event, which is clearly a fairly grand military funeral - perhaps a General Officer with Royal Engineer connections?
