Private c1905


This portrait shows the silver metal regimental collar badges very clearly. The cords and netted caps are all yellow as are the busby cap-lines which loop up to the right shoulder to hang from a small hook. The round brass buttons are plain and were worn by the rank and file in all the hussar regiments. He has only the Queen's medal for the Boer War, with 3 clasps.
