1918

“The South Irish Horse was a Special Reserve cavalry regiment of the British Army. Formed as an Imperial Yeomanry regiment in 1902 as the South of Ireland Imperial Yeomanry, it perpetuated a unit formed during the Second Boer War. It transferred to the Special Reserve (Cavalry) in 1908 and was renamed as the South Irish Horse. Having taken part in the fighting of World War I, it was disbanded after Irish Independence in 1922.”

“taken in Russia?”
Sound unlikely

They do look very cold, unusual to see troops wearing scarves?

Russia seems very unlikely.

“On 12 June 1922 King George V received at Windsor Castle representatives of the six disbanded Irish regiments. While five had long and distinguished service records, the South Irish Horse (SIH) had only been raised in 1902, as a result of the second Boer War, but too late to take part.
On the outbreak of The Great War a single squadron of the SIH was sent to Flanders which was involved in the retreat from Mons and the Marne and the early battles of Ypres, Neuve Chapelle. The remainder of the Regiment followed and over the next four years, won ten battle honours including Loos 1915, Somme 1916 and 1918, Albert, St Quentin, Courtrai and finally France and Flanders 1915-1918. Losses were severe and there were many acts of gallantry.”

Perhaps it's a sign of the times, but none of them could be described as tall. Maybe as they are wrapped up in layers of heavy clothing they appear as shorter?

Goats make the perfect addition to any farm or large property. On top of being cute, they also play well with other animals and are great around people too. DO ✓ Give them plenty to do All goats, particularly young goats (called kids), are playful and curious by nature, so they require an environment that will encourage activity in order to satisfy these natural instincts. Goats need an area with sufficient space for them to run around and play. You can provide them with an enriched environment by giving them things like balls and haystacks to play with. Goats also like to climb, so providing them with sturdy crates or non-slip tables will help them to express this natural behaviour and keep them entertained for hours. DON’T ✗ Keep goats on their own Goats prefer to be with other goats. They are social creatures who like to live in herds. If a goat is lonely, they will start to act out in fear, boredom or frustration, which can be no walk in the park! Keeping goats in a group is ideal, but if there are no other goats around, other animals like horses, cows and sheep will do. The owner or stockperson will need to keep in mind the competition for food and resources between the species. You may need to separate them at feeding time to ensure everyone is getting their fair share. Source: www.rspcasa.org.au/caring-for-goatss/
