Here are some details of this fascinating photograph. |
Sitting Officer - Second from left Sadly the details of the pouch belts can't really be made out. A symbol can be guessed on the belt plate though - and the workmanship of the basket hilt is impressive. |

Standing Officer He is wearing the ribbon for the Indian Mutiny Medal. The detail of the fabric of his trousers is most interesting. |
Officer sitting to the right He is sporting miniatures of Medals: |

It is interesting to note that his gauntlet is fitted with strips of chain mail (as is the gauntlet worn by his fellow officer). |
