Annie, can you see the photographers name?

ALLARAE, I tried to do a rubbing of itbut no luck with that, but it's worn away some of the brown board and its a little clearer to see.

Harribobs, thanks for that info pre 1903? as early as that?
thank you,

I have to leave in a bit - I haven't had time to go through this - but maybe we could find the photographer!!  ;)

(Though I'm going off on a tangent - aren't I? ) sorry I get carried away!!

Thing to do now is ... find out which regiments where there at that time!!  :-\

Allahabad ?
it could be, I wonder if PrueM will know on the photo board,  Denn might be able to enhance it a bit, the last letter could be a B and what I thought was an R could be an H it def says ALLLA?A? then its cut!
Do you know what regiments would have been there?
thanks for the help
