[Pembrokeshire Yeomanry Group Portrait]

Twenty six soldiers, most wearing Pembrokeshire Yeomanry cap badges, including a sergeant and sergeant major (centre). All are wearing bandoliers The photograph has been taken in front of the premises of "William & Walter James, Auctioneers, Valuers, Land Agents & Surveyors" presumably at 9 Carmarthen Street, Llandeillo. No wound stripes or overseas chevrons are visible suggesting the photo dates from the years before the war. One member is wearing an Imp‬erial Service Badge indicating that they are Territorial soldiers, not regular army.

[Couple]

A man in army uniform photographed with, presumably, his wife or sweetheart. No regimental insignia are discernible though he has a medal ribbon on his tunic. This appears to be three light coloured stripes on a darker background. This could possibly be the Military Medal. His wife/ sweetheart has a military badge pinned to her blouse. This is possibly a Royal Artillery badge, but the badge is seen at an angle and partly obscured.

[Farrier Staff Sergeant]

Studio portrait of a Farrier Staff Sergeant. Note the three stripes on his sleeve supplanted by a crown. The horseshoe between the two indicates he is a farrier. No indication of Regiment. He has a pistol in a holster attached to his belt.
