  The top photo appears to be edited ... the troops marching do not match the perspective of the buildings in the background or the civilians in the square.

British motorcycle despatch riders (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Pixel Wrangler said:

  From Wikipedia: "A despatch rider is a military messenger, mounted on horse or motorcycle. "Despatch riders were used by armed forces to deliver urgent orders and messages between headquarters and military units. They had a vital role at a time when telecommunications were limited and insecure. In the British Army, motorcycle despatch riders were first used in the World War I by the Royal Engineers Signal Service. The riders were originally volunteers, some of whom supplied their own machines."

  LOC -- Bain's caption has no comma.
