| With the exception of an over sized bandoleer, this young man wears a perfectly proportioned uniform of the Royal Fusiliers. Was he the son of a serving soldier or a young man who enlisted while still a boy? |

This fascinating photograph of a young
boy dressed as an officer of the Indian
lancer regiment and proudly mounted
on his pony is identified on the reverse
in a pencil inscription as John Westcott
Davidson. I have been unable to find
any historical reference to anyone one
or anything of that name with the
unusual exception of an automobile
dealership in Watertown, New York.
After pursuing the investigation
further I came to the possible
conclusion that this young man may
actually be John Waugh Davidson...
