Looks like an R.E.8 or the similar B.E.2/B.E.12. The R.E.8 was known by the Cockney Rhyming expression 'Harry Tate' after a popular music hall performer of the time.

Judging from the splintered prop this is the result of a heavy landing.

The Baltimore-Washington Speedway, Laurel MD.

Atlantic City Speedway (Amatol Race Track)! Mullica Hill/Hammonton area in NJ, in the Pinelands. It has a very interesting history so both videos below are worth watching. The site also featured a WWI ammunitions facility. youtu.be/l3MifV3DOFg youtu.be/VoPE4er07tM en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_City_Speedway

If you look at the footage in the videos it likes very very similar.

Opening day at Laurel Speedway, July 11, 1925 See similar photos in DC Evening Star chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1925-07-12/ed-... and chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1925-07-19/ed-... The names of the drivers on pit row refer to Bennet or Jimmy Hill, Jerry Wonderlich, Peter DePaola, Peter Kriess, Wade Morton, Phil Shafer, Ralph De Palma, Reginald Johnson and William Shattuck, who were all entered in a $25,000 race there in July.

I agree that the background in archival footage of the videos of the Atlantic Speedway look similar. BUT New Britain Herald. May 01, 1926, FINAL EDITION, Page 13 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn82014519/1926-05-01/ed-... lists the entries for the first race at Atlantic Speedway as: 1 Peter De Paolo 2 Eddie Hearne 3 Harry Hartz 4 Bob McDonough 5 Ralph Hepburn 6 Frank Elliott 8 Norman Batten 9 Cliff Woodbury 14 Fred Comer I5 Peter Kreis 16 Bennett Hill 17 Earl Devore 41 Zeke Meyer 21 Ralph DePalma 22 Dr. W.E. Shattuck 26 Count DeMarguenat 27 Baron Derachewesky 28 Dave Evans 35 Ben Jones Some names on this list do not match the names in the photo.

Another possibility is the Laurel Speedway later in 1925 See the Evening Star. November 01, 1925, Image 117 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1925-11-01/ed-... Good overlap with names on this photo but not perfect. Also a reasonable match to the trees in the background.

The friends of a World War One aboriginal soldier raised funds to erect a headstone for their fallen comrade`s unmarked grave in Cairns, in far north Queensland. Harry Doyle was taken from his home on Fraser Island to Yarrabah and lied about his age to enlist with the Light Horse. Despite his youth, he joined the army on May 23, 1917 and was shipped on the HMAS Ulysses to the Middle East with the rest of his unit. He went on to fight in the famous charge at Beersheba in Palestine. At sunset on October 31, 1917, the 4th Australian Light Horse Brigade were ordered to gallop under fire and take the town of Beersheba. In the battle, 31 Australians were killed and another 36 were injured, but the Diggers took more than 700 Turkish prisoners. Harry Doyle survived the war and resettled in Cairns in the early 1950s. When he died in 1967 aged 66 he was buried in an unmarked grave at the Martyn Street cemetery . Source: monumentaustralia.org.au/themes/people/indigenous/display...

12 November, 2008 12:22AM AEST Lost World War I soldier given a tombstone By Liam Fox The final resting place of an Aboriginal World War I veteran has finally been marked in Far North Queensland more than 40 years after his death. Harry Doyle was a 16 year old from Yarrabah when he lied about his age to enlist in the imperial army and went on to fight with the 11th Light Horse Regiment in the Middle East in 1917. Trooper Doyle died in 1967 in Cairns but his grave site was unmarked until friend Rose Colless tried to find it. Ms Colless lead an effort to raise funds for a headstone. Today, friends and relatives gathered to see it blessed during a ceremony that included the traditional minute's silence on Remembrance Day. Retired Navy Commander, Mick Storrs, feels it's important Trooper Doyle's contribution has been recognised. "Harry's laid here for 40 years unrecognised so it brings it to an appropriate conclusion that we can honour his memory on a very appropriate day," he says. Trooper Doyle's simple headstone describes him as a beloved friend and relative. Source: www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2008/11/12/2417040.htm
