Uniform that Annie Dorcas is wearing in the photograph

To be photographed reading a book imports a feeling of the lady making a mission statement.

Hi, could it not just be a "Prop" for the photograph?

Books were often used as props to denote literacy but from around 1890 when literacy levels had improved it wasn't deemed so important.
By this time books are rarely used for this purpose but it may be of some significance to her.

A better scan of the badge is needed. It could be - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/British-Cap-badges-Yorkshire-Light-Infantry-Vicy-Badge-/151066775177?_trksid=p2054897.l4276

As it says it is up to 1901. After that they dropped the crown. So it could have been passed down.

Yes it was clearly a prop. The point I was trying to make was that her choice of prop may have been significant.

Ahh, I see, apologies.

No apology required Frank.
