    This photo probably from the 1911 international Challenge Cup polo tournament. Capt. Cheape a member of the English polo team. This article mentions him as a possible casualty in Dec 1915, probably action in Gallipoli (British Mediterranean forces). query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9D05E6D8163BE6...

    Un modo come un altro (come me) di lasciare traccia di se stessi.

    On Dec. 20, 1911, the Gettysburg Times reported that Captain Cheape had died from smallpox in Delhi: news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2202&dat=19111220&... Enigmatic, given his later demise at Gallipolli.

    Bet he was a real barrel of laughs, looks like he's in a stupor...whether that was brought on by a solid or liquid lunch I'm not sure. The face of a fat grumpy and confused Schnauzer. It also looks like he wore earrings in private.

    Gosh, that's an angry face.

King Geo., Queen Mary, Earl Plymouth, Prince of Wales at opening "Festival of Empire" (LOC)

    The Prince of Wales, in the sailor cap, is of course the future Edward VIII. He later abdicated and married Wallis Simpson. Probably the youngster peeping out behind his mother is the future George V, the present Queen's father. The Festival of Empire was a huge trade fair, as can bee seen by the size of the buildings on the skyline of this picture. It was held at the relocated Crystal Palace which eventually burned down in 1936, The first trade fair in 1851 had been a huge success. Edit: Oops I meant George Vi (blush)
  • lafb_lib_illcirc said:
    The youngster peeping out isn't George V (who isn't the present Queen's father, that was George VI); George V is the King present at the fair. The one behind Queen Mary is Princess Mary, the future Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood.

    The festival opened May 12, 1911 the prince would have been 1 month from turning 17.
