Hello there, I was sorting out my WW1 photographs and ephemera when I noticed the attached photograph, clearly not WW1. The two soldiers look like they could well be brothers.
I would be interested in what can be established from the photograph? Both are Sergeants, both have the same medal ribbon. Are they mounted infantry (bandoliers)? Anything obvious that I am missing here? Shoulder titles are visible but I really can't make sense of them. The chap on the left, the title appears to end ***TER (Manchester?), on the right, starts CH*** (Cheshire?). Their faces are clean, hands are filthy.
The studio is Deale, Bloemfontein, Orange River Colony.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts, Alastair
