baronet

Super picture. For once, this service dress looks 'used' - creases on a pocket and on the sleeve; bulging right pocket (who knows what!). His tie looks a bit rough, too. Either his batman has let him down, or he has just come inside for a photograph, after a morning's hack. Nice picture. Interesting story.

9th (Queen's Royal) Lancers. Not 9th Battalion.

Later Sir Charles Wilfrid Bennett, Baronet Kirklington, (15 Mar 1898 - 25 Apr 1952), son of Sir Albert James Bennett, 1st Bt., MP (1872-1945) and Caroline Carleton Backus.

Superb capture. Have a good day

Nice shot

Rings a big bell ...

Via John Spooner's comment on the above photo ... "The "Prince of Wales" photo: it looks like the future Gerorge[sic] V, who became Prince of Wales in 1901. However, as Duke of York, he and the Duchess stayed at Kilkenny Castle from 19th to 24th April 1899 (Belfast News-letter)."

Interestingly, the National Archives has an entry for a photo described as: "Photograph 11½ x 9½ group of fifteen figures including the Duke and Duchess of York (in centre) on the occasion of the Royal visit to Kilkenny Castle, six ladies and one gentleman seated, eight gentlemen standing, the Duke standing behind the Duchess seated, portraits in background." However, it also says "Copyright owner and author of work: August Nielsen, Rose Inn Street, Kilkenny. Form completed 5 May 1899.".

2nd from the right front row doesn't look at all happy.

Some biographical info on C-B-C here (warning - pdf).

I read the bio - and added a tag, "mule." This doesn't appear to be a horse, folks. Mules are smart and long on endurance.

It is a horse- Just because it is ugly doesn't make it a mule. It's ears are too small to be a mule

It's a horse. This horse is a descendant of the horses that the Spanish brought over and is typically called a "cayouse," after the native tribe that used them. Look at some of Remington's works and you will see that most of the Indian and cow ponys of that time were like this pony. A tough breed and hard worker.

This is definitely not a mule -- the tag should be removed. It's a horse that's not especially attractive, but not necessarily a cayuse either -- just a good, sturdy horse of mixed breed, apparently roan in color. Frankly as long as the "mule" tag is removed the breed doesn't much matter.
