| A picture within a picture but not quite two for the price of one. This unidentified private of the 1st Battalion, The South Wales Borderers hold a Cabinet Photograph of what appears to be a cavalryman a detail of which is show below. The private wears one Long Service & Good Conduct Stripe on his left sleeve. The stripe appears to be temporarily attached to the sleeve. This practice seems to have been commonplace in India and other tropical locations and seems to imply that these insignia were not worn on a daily basis but were relegated to more formal occasions - like having one's portrait taken. Cabinet Photograph George Dean - Photographer Rawalpindi & Murree, India c. 1902 |
