"A most unusual pic,believed to be the only time that the Officers
of 3 line Battalions of the same Regiment have been pictured together.
They are the 1st,2nd and 3rd Bns of the XXth the Lancashire Fusiliers.
The pic is undated, but by careful reading and noting that they are wearing
black armbands,I have come to the opinion that this pic was taken shortly
after the death of Queen Victoria in January 1901.
