King Geo. at Trooping of Colors, May 1911 (LOC)

    I believe the building in the background is the Old Admiralty and the parade ground itself is the Horse Guards Parade.

    I think so too, they still Troop the Colour there.

    Interesting detail: about 2/3 of the way to the right, in front of the line of guards and just behind the foreground figure, there is a second mounted figure who appears to be Indian. He's wearing a decorated turban of some kind, has a moustache, and doesn't look particularly old. You can see him in the medium size, but he stands out more in the larger sizes. Someone has tagged this "raj" -- so I can't be the only one who's noticed. I wonder who he is? Also more apparent in the larger size: masses of people standing on a balcony in the background, and at almost every window!

    Well spotted CM! Isn't that interesting. I'd guess he was some visiting dignitary but I don't have the faintest idea who.

    My guess is that they are from India/Hindustan.

    Strange grouping. It looks like the soldiers are protecting the harvesting. The man with the dog looks like the landowner (plus fours etc). Were they threatened?

    Could the date be wrong?

    As you seem to imply, it's hard to say when the civil war was "over" . Really great photo. Thanks.

    Moira Well, that's the question, isn't it? Big house, politicial allegiances, local issues?

Time's up - over you go!

    This photo has been proven to be a fake, it was a reserve trench behind the lines in the Somme I believe. The puffs of smoke in the sky were also added in the post processing to simulate shell bursts. Amazing photo none the less and still one of my favorites.
