Will move it across tonight.

I was wondering if it was early...and Hong Kong, as the DCLI were there 1913/14 and we believe James Joseph was out there too. It could well just be India. But the men look like teenagers rather than "men".

Cheers

Max

Looks very like here - Cyprus.

Could be Limassol, Nicosia or Larnaca.

Note sharp crease in the trousers of the central soldier - it's been stitched in. There were many tailors/tailoresses here who altered uniforms in the early 70s so I would expect them to have been about in the 1940s/50s.

Check for yourself, just put Limassol old town in Google and hit images, plenty of photos to study. You can do the same for the other 2 towns.
