| Hi Isandula,
What a bunch of dudes!. Reminds me of the Randlords, ie Barney Barnato and his illustrious well connected thugs. My private joke. Keep guessing.

| Barry,
Just as a heads-up the Rifle Brigade officer is wearing a pre-1881 uniform, to help your time-range.
Regards,
John Y. |

| No, Frederic, not Lysons or Beresford--but probably "yes" to the second query. John, if he has a knobbie with him in the photo, then it must be a miniature in his pocket.
Clue 1--in mufti Clue 2--with bowler Clue 3--With the right daddy, it's easy to get a plum position. Clue 4--By all accounts, he was an "Honourable" man. |
