| Inscribed on the reverse simply "Horace Skipton May 89" this photograph has yet to be researched in depth. My army list sources extend only to 1885 at this point but information regarding Skipton should not be hard to find, He is an officer in a rifle battalion but during the 1889 period there were five separate rifle battalions from both the King's Royal Rifle Corps and the Rifle Brigade in India so narrowing down his unit will also require additional research.
