  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.

  When you see vets of that generation it's easy to understand why so many wear hearing aids. In spite of modern ear defenders in other armies, hearing damage persists. Super picture 👍

Soldiers waiting to board the troopship WARILDA

  I know one of the gentlemen in this photo (13th head from the right with moustache). He is my Great Great Grandfather Sapper Alfred Baldwin. Number 3942. Fought on the Western Front, returned to Australia 18th May 1918. He was 44 years and 3 months when he enlisted (one of the oldest?). I have many photos and letters from soldiers from Violet Town/Boho in northern Victoria.

  Sorry, I meant 13th head from the Left!

• Sherryn Bevilacqua said:

  He has paper folded in his Left Chest pocket :)
