Photograph of soldiers from the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards formed up in three rows at Wellington Barracks, London, 1888-1902 (c). Most are wearing white drill jackets and pillbox caps. The men in the centre of the front row are wearing their scarlet tunics, sashes and peaked caps - they are the senior non-commissioned officers. Two set of regimental drums are displayed at the front, and the Drum Major, holding his distinctive staff or mace, sits in the front row, second from the right. Pioneer Sgt Thomas Stoton stands at the far left of the front row holding his axe. Several trees and buildings can be seen in the background.

From an album of 79 photographs in the Grenadier Guards Photograph Archive entitled: ‘1st Battalion 1888-1902’; mainly group images and portraits, with locations such as Dublin and Wellington Barracks.
