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...

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.

This photo was taken on June 8, 1911. The English Polo team was playing the U. S. team in America. A New York Times story of June 8 reported that play had been delayed because the field at Meadow Brook was soggy after three days of rain: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9E07E...

Wystan: Thanks for pointing out the date on the negative and locating the likely date of the event--an interesting discrepancy. We'll add the information to the description when we update.
