This photo depicts a member of the Artillery
Troop maintained by the Bucks Hussars.
Note the cuff braiding, with extra eyes, and the gun topping
the Sergeant stripes.
The CDV is marked on the back :
"John B. Cooper
1875"
It is to be noted that the same NCO features
on a group photography shown in the remarkable book "The
uniforms of the Early-Victorian Yeomanry Cavalry, 1837-1870",
by R.J.Smith and David J.Knight (Doncaster, 2009), page 50.
