Nice photos thank you but the dating is at least 30 years wrong.

Some nice dress distinctions. 3 officers, a colour sergeant, several sergeants, several bandsmen and a drummer, a corporal wearing good conduct badges under the pre-1881 rules, and a four-badge man signifying at least 16 years and possibly as many as 22 years.
Can anyone attempt a dating ............ answers on a postcard please. No prizes for correct answers but it is NOT c. 1840! |
