Neil 2242 Posted 15 December , 2018 Posted 15 December , 2018 When King George opened Parliament in 1917 he was accompanied by an Imperial Mounted Escort comprising officers from India, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Newfoundland and the West Indies. Below are the Indian officers, who happen to be the ones I'm interested in. The image is from the Illustrated London News. My question is, does anyone happen to know of any other images of them from that day? Any pointers appreciated.

Neil 2242 Posted 16 December , 2018 Author Posted 16 December , 2018 (edited) Thank you....I hadn't even thought of moving pictures! That's tantalising, 13 seconds only but definitely them. Now that I'm looking for video clips too, here's another https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuHcG-yhx4s Doesn't show the Indian escort, but can possibly see the New Zealanders at one point judging by the headwear.
