militaria item Sepia photo of an Italian mountain battery
- British
This sepia photograph, pasted on a card page torn from a British military album, shows a battery of Italian mountain artillery in front of their barracks - 'Caserma Alfonso La-Marmora' (Rome). They appear to be in tropical kit, as many of them are wearing white foreign service helmets, with saddlery, ammunition boxes and guns in the foreground.

militaria item Sepia photo of Sphinx at Gizeh, Egypt, with one other
- British
These two photos, mounted back to back on board, have come out of an old British military album. The officers appear to be cavalry or mounted infantry, could even be Camel Corps personnel - note the presence of sabretaches and sabres. The foreign service helmet with linen neck shade is typical of this era.

- British
This sepia photograph, pasted on card cut from a page from a British military album, shows a howitzer of the French garrison artillery, together with a group of officers and senior NCOs. The caption in English underneath simply says 'French Artillery'.

militaria item Sepia photo of Black Watch at Malta, on parade with cased colours
- British
This sepia photograph, pasted on card cut from a page from a British military album, shows the 42nd at Malta, whence, according to Hart's Army list of 1879, they disembarked in November 1874. They would appear to be armed with Snider/Enfield conversions, which were the rifles in use during their stint in the 1873-4 Ashantee War.
