The mirror appears 3/4 possible 5 feet above the heads of the standing men, what possible vantage point would a mirror placed so high achieve??

Good day to all,

I am searching for information on the Army or Navy career of one Captain Francis Hole, born 1798 Devon, former JP, Alderman and in 1844 Mayer of Tiverton, Devon. I have him in the 1841/51/61 census returns, but it is his Military service possible between 1818-1828 I am interested in, his Grandson Captain Francis Hole Bourne 1850-1880 was in the 43rd Light Infantry, Scotland.

Any help with this gratefully received,

Regards,

Peter.
