Griff,
Can you see the backs of these postcards? Are they the "Wellington" series by Gale and Polden?

Great photos. I wonder why the recruit bending down has his face obliterated in the second one ?
Also it it likely to be Woolwich Barracks? Last edited by Keith Blakeman; 13-09-10 at 02:10 PM.

The Mounted L/Corporal is especially good I think.... its a rare thing to see the Broderick Cap in use. Being used during the Boer War is possibly even more rare. The L/Corporals horse is in very good condition so that tells me that the horse has been off "the Ship" for at least four months and back into good health after a long voyage. It could be that its a South African bred horse and not transported..... whatever the case..... its in good health

Is it Woolwich though and if so any idea which barracks? Also the bloke on the horse is a dead ringer for Anthony Quayle.
