An original First World War British Army studio portrait of a British soldier, professionally photographed by Mendoza Galleries, 13 Old Bond Street, London W.
The soldier is depicted wearing British Army Service Dress uniform with cap badge and what appears to be Army Service Corps (ASC) shoulder titles, although the lettering is not entirely clear and buyers should satisfy themselves from the photographs.
This is an original period silver gelatin photograph dating from the First World War, presented in its original glazed wooden frame with gilt slip. The mount is impressed with the photographer's details:
