Photograph of the 2nd Battalion Grenadier Guards undertaking bayonet exercises at the Alameda Grand Parade, Gibraltar, 1899 (c). They line up in several long lines on the parade ground as they stand on guard with their rifles and fixed bayonets pointing ready to engage an enemy. They are wearing white drill jackets and peakless caps. The wooded hillside rises up behind them and there are some buildings in the background. The Almeda gardens were commissioned in 1816 by the British Governor of Gibraltar Gen Sir George Don.
