They are wearing white drill jackets and pillbox caps, carrying their rifles with bayonets attached. The Corps of Drums is visible near the front, and an officer in his dark blue frock coat can be seen riding his horse on one side. The name ‘C Fergusson’ is written in the caption - which relates to Lt Charles Fergusson (later Gen Sir Charles Fergusson) who was the regimental Adjutant at the time the image was taken.
