I have only just come across this site and therefore your submitted picture.
Do you have any further information concerning the pic.
I am tracing my wife's family and One of her relatives was Ernest Ponsonby Dahl.
Have come across a lot of info about him, but this would be the first photo.
Cheers
Graham

I'm sorry not to have noticed your post. I've now (1 Dec 12) replied to you directly.

Soldiers #2 and 3 probably brothers judging by the pose and the distinctive eyebrow. Medal ribbons could be the Boer War QSA and KSA? which would suit the age of that soldier. Great photo!

Assuming he's in the Infantry, would the CSgt sitting on the floor be wearing these badges of rank if he were holding the appointment of CQMS? Higher definition image attached:

I have been in contact with his son still alive and well in Adelaide. He has a copy of this picture. He has confirmation that Future LT Dahl is the second from the left with glass in right hand.

Graham,
That's excellent - well done. One "rogue" positively identified and five to go.
