  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.

• Paul O'Farrell said:

  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

  Thanks for tracking down the likely site and story behind the roof garden. We'll add information to this and related images when we next update.
