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.

The barracks dates from 1891. I see scaffolding and an unfinished roof.

Niall McAuley Yes, when I saw Aldershot on the carts, I thought for a moment that Robert French had gone "out foreign" for once!

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.

From Wiki Uhlans (in Polish: "Ułan"; "Ulan" in German) were Polish light cavalry armed with lances, sabres and pistols. The title was later used by lancer regiments in the Russian, Prussian, and Austrian armies. Uhlans typically wore a double-breasted jacket (kurta) with a coloured panel (plastron) at the front, a coloured sash, and a square-topped Polish lancer cap (czapka) also spelt 'chapka,' chapska and schapska. This cap or cavalry helmet was derived from a traditional design of Polish cap, made more formal and stylised for military use. Their lances usually had small, swallow-tailed flags (known as the lance pennon) just below the spearhead.
