Sons Of The Empire

This is the beginning of an occasional new series that will focus on the soldiers of the British Empire during its zenith between 1880 and the beginning of the Fist World War. It will portray Infantry, Cavalry and, occasionally, Artillery as they would have appeared on parade (and in the field) at that time.
Our first small release shows three members of one of British India's most famous cavalry regiment's... "Skinner's Horse"
