Woolwich 1910 Royal Field Artillery and IV Queens OwnHussars

[Hawthorn]

An interesting postcard that recently arrived showing an informal group of The Royal Field Artillery postmarked to the reverse for Woolwich 1910.

Plenty of proficiency badges on show including two Farriers, Riding Instructor, Harness Maker and Gun Layer along with a GMP brassard (Garrison Military Police?) and five Good Conduct Chevrons on the old Soldier standing centre rear.

The seated figure centre right appears to be wearing the uniform and badge of The IV Queens Own Hussars and has a three bar medal which I assume to be the Queens South Africa Medal bearing in mind the date of the photograph. His presence in the group would seem to indicate that he was attached to the Royal Field Artillery at Woolwich perhaps in the position of Riding Instructor although he does not appear to wear any proficiency badges as far as I can see.

Regards Simon.
