4000/1 Why are most of the horses Grey?

    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.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The trees are marked on the 25", weak evidence we are before 1900.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The barracks dates from 1891. I see scaffolding and an unfinished roof.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Yes, when I saw Aldershot on the carts, I thought for a moment that Robert French had gone "out foreign" for once!
  • John Spooner said:
    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.

Charge of the Heavy Cavalry Brigade. 25th Octr. 1854.

    Fabulous photo. It took a maverick to shave his top lip in that company...
  • John Spooner said:
    I understand shaving the top lip was not allowed in the British Army until 1916.
  • Adrian Midgley said:
    Topical.

    The guy at bottom right really let loose here. Bottom left had a little something going on, but bottom right blew him out of the water. Bottom middle obviously hedged, and lost. He's got that "what the hell should I do?!" look on his face. Poor chap. Great photo. I like it.

    John Spooner So you're saying that this is not just a bunch of men trying to emulate Lord Kitchener? So what's up with the men at the right ends of the 2nd and 4th rows from the top?
