Postcard sized real sepia photograph of East Yorkshire Regiment taken at Beverley training camp, Yorkshire. The sign in front row possibly identifies this group of nine men and a corporal as 3856 squad or may be for the photographer's reference.
All are wearing new uniforms with cap badges for the East Yorkshire Regiment, and are bearing Lee Metford Rifles in front of large bivouc Army tents. Probably taken just after men were called up for training in 1915.
Overleaf it says that:
