Fantastic. The shields a bit special, what direction was St George?

Just wondering about the medals shown in the 5th picture I think the 1st one is Queen's South Africa medal with clasps, not sure about the second, wondering if it might be Kings South Africa medal? but this photo would need to be post 1902 for that to be the case?

No problem with post-1902 ........ the period of the Brodrick.

Nice mix of 5 and 7 button scarlet frocks, at least one Home Service tunic, and the colour-sergeant may be in the paler coarse dirty work dress ....... or is it KD?

QSA & KSA pair IMO, you can see the broad white central stripe and the two bars.

Here is the pair in my collection.

Nice pic with the Brodrick.

Brilliant, thanks Jerry, yes King's seemed to be the only thing that made sense given the ribbon's.

It's a great photograph, JT as a fine line in NF pics. I heartily approve

[Jelly Terror]

Thanks for your replies, people. Appreciate you taking the time to comment, as always.

Superb photo of 'F' Company, who it appears have won the Inter-Company Football Shield, and as already mentioned possibly the 3rd Battalion, as noted from the shoulder title of a previous photo taken in the same location.
