Commentary

I can only assume this is a photo of F Company. Victor Record Field embarked with 32nd Reinforcements F Company. Is he in this photo or is it Raynal Hubbard embarked with the 22 Reinforcements F Company? I can just make out one badge on one of the buglers which appears to have the number 22 on it. I think it is Ray at the very right-hand end of the middle standing row.

I love the variety of poses in this photo from the very formal and still to the casually relaxed. I also enjoy the strength of the friendships hinted at with hands on shoulders of other men.
