I like that postcard, a super image, the lancer's uniform always looks good notwithstanding the regiment concerned.

The attached postcard ( I gained recently) is of interest as it shows the scrolled badge in use in 1911 and an earlier photo in this thread shows 1910. What is even more interesting is the right facing scroll-less badge was worn at this time on the arm. Although many left-facing badges have been touted as the correct arm badge, this photo shows that it was not always the case.
