    Happy 4000th!

    In megazoom, I can read that the huge carts opposite belong to Thomas White & Co.

    Since absorbed by the House of Fraser department stores.

    The trees are marked on the 25", weak evidence we are before 1900.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The barracks dates from 1891. I see scaffolding and an unfinished roof.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Yes, when I saw Aldershot on the carts, I thought for a moment that Robert French had gone "out foreign" for once!
  • John Spooner said:
    Thomas White & Co had their fingers in several pies. As well as department stores, they wer estate agents "Have all the best houses available on their Register, furnished and unfurnished, in immediate vicinity of the Aldershot Comamand Barracks" (Aldershot News - Friday 12 January 1917). As well as Aldershot they had a branch in Farnborough (or more accurately North Camp, between Aldershot and Farnborough). Their premises there were on Lynchford Road, which coincidentally was my great-grandfather's address in 1886-1889.

    I found it interesting that there was no other info about who this was other than "Sickles," so a quick Internet search found the following: (from Wikipedia) (Daniel) Sickles lived out the remainder of his life in New York City, dying on May 3, 1914. His funeral was held at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan on May 8, 1914. He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Daniel Edgar Sickles (October 20, 1819 – May 3, 1914) was a colorful and controversial American politician, Union general in the American Civil War, and diplomat. As an antebellum New York politician, Sickles was involved in a number of public scandals, most notably the killing of his wife's lover, Philip Barton Key II, son of Francis Scott Key. He was acquitted with the first use of temporary insanity as a legal defense in U.S. history. He became one of the most prominent political generals of the Civil War. At the Battle of Gettysburg, he insubordinately moved his III Corps to a position in which it was virtually destroyed, an action that continues to generate controversy. His combat career ended at Gettysburg when his leg was struck by cannon fire.

    The man leading the procession (carrying Gen. Sickles' hat and saber) looks familiar, maybe from earlier Bain photos. My best guess is Elihu Root, then a senator from New York. Anyone else??

    I think the definition for "scoundrel" should say: "see Daniel Sickles"! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Sickles
