Beautiful photograph, perfectly composed. These military boots with straps are very stylish :-)

beautiful

Wonderful image and capture. Have a happy Easter.

I've been scouring Google and Wiki to see if I can get a match on the cap or collar badges to no avail. As each officer was expected to provide himself with a horse it may be that these are infantry officers rather than cavalry. There are two different regiments on display here, the chaps with the boots and jodhpurs have their rank markings on their cuffs while the officer on the right front has his on his epaulette. Looking at the young man at the front and the other at the rere they look so young, their chances if they got to the front were slim to put it mildly.

Swordscookie Five of the men have collar badges of the Royal Artillery, the fact that they are wearing spurs would indicate Field Artillery and not Garrison Artillery. The officer seated on the right might be an infantry officer, possibly a Captain judging by his shoulder badges. Royal Artillery Collar Badge

I don't see any Majors.

derangedlemur That's the one, thanks. ofarrl told us a while back that it no longer exists.

Could the Major be the chap in the middle with the mustache? As I recall officers and NCOs had to have facial hair until the 1930s in the army, one man was court marshaled for shaving his off during WW1!

Ok, Captain, but not Major. Still a person of importance

There is a little dog

Does the dog have a mo too?

Hard to say if they're military or not. The military jackets look genuine but their wearers seem fairly scruffy. When did Army Bargains first open?

The young man on the top left is a conscientious objector

The photo before this is the 3rd Division Ambulance, which makes more sense than 3rd Ambulance Division.
