Uniform help please

[moverton]

can anyone tell me to what part of the cav these men belong? I belive they could be Worcester Yeomanry Cav.

Thanks

Moverton,

The soldier seated in the centre is regular army, so you can discount him as being yeomanry.

The ones in khaki are either lancers or hussars, the corporal and the soldier with the long service good conduct stripe are in 'blues' with foreign-service helmets.  The pugrai around the helmet suggests to me, we're looking at a photograph taken "somewhere east of Suez" to coin Kipling.

I'd guess the time-frame between late 1880's - mid/late 1890's.

Ken replied to my post about the Life Guards and said he had found Overton's in the Boer War in the Lancers. That might fit, although I don't know of any family who went there on my Dad's side.
