Hi Mike,

Thanks for checking and the info. There is some info on the photo that is handwritten:
"Badge of Gallantry-men of the 19 troop of S.A.C."
"C. Ryall, W.H. Gibbons, H. Falkentine, D. Muir, C. Young"

They are wearing their uniforms but, not the metal badges. They are all wearing the cloth? Gallantry badge on their sleeves.

Carol

3rd Class Trooper Harold Faltenhine (Note spelling of name), severly wounded covering withdrawal from Bessiespan August 11th 1901 where he remained behind so balance of troop could escape lead by Trooper Gibbons...... Later discharged as medically unfit for further service..... Forced to pay his own way home as sued British government for funds and won......

3rd Class Trooper Richard Douglas Muir, slightly wounded white successfully rescuing a fellow trooper at Rietport October 10th 1901......
