Beautiful photograph, perfectly composed. These military boots with straps are very stylish :-)

beautiful

Wonderful image and capture. Have a happy Easter.

I've been scouring Google and Wiki to see if I can get a match on the cap or collar badges to no avail. As each officer was expected to provide himself with a horse it may be that these are infantry officers rather than cavalry. There are two different regiments on display here, the chaps with the boots and jodhpurs have their rank markings on their cuffs while the officer on the right front has his on his epaulette. Looking at the young man at the front and the other at the rere they look so young, their chances if they got to the front were slim to put it mildly.

Swordscookie Five of the men have collar badges of the Royal Artillery, the fact that they are wearing spurs would indicate Field Artillery and not Garrison Artillery. The officer seated on the right might be an infantry officer, possibly a Captain judging by his shoulder badges. Royal Artillery Collar Badge

I had a look for this chap on the web - trying to work out what sport he played. I think there's a typo in your title here - "Tuominen"? - but it seems like his name might be "Tueminen," and in fact, there's another LOC record that says as much.

This is probably Finnish wrestler Nestori Tuominen, who won the gold medal (note: annoying popup ad with audio at that link) in the 67.0kg class in the Greco-Roman style at the Wrestling World Championships in 1911. Also, note that the surname is spelled correctly by Bain on this negative.

Righto... misspelled in other places then :)

whyaduck: Thanks for the heads up! You're correct, this is Nestori Tuominen, a Finnish Greco-Roman wrestler. We're going to change the source data and reload the description here in Flickr to match. (And we'll be fixing that other LOC record depicting him as well, George!)

He served as Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for 14 years until his death. " www.ny.frb.org/aboutthefed/BStrongbio.html "Benjamin Strong Jr. was elected governor of the New York Fed at the Bank’s first board meeting on October 5, 1914, six weeks prior to the opening day. He was 41, and then president of Bankers Trust Co. of New York."

swanq: Thanks for providing us with more information on Strong. We'll include some of it next time we update.
