7th Hussars


Mounted Band c1908


Although this photo is not very clear it does show that a large proportion of the band were skilled enough to play music and ride at the same time. There are 25 mounted bandsmen plus the band sergeant and kettle drummer. The drumhorse is now a skew or piebald and we can see that the band sergeant has gold braid on his tunic.
