Default 1st Life Guards. A Scout. Harry Payne Postcard, 'Tuck's Oilette.'

I'm processing a collection of military postcards for disposal (500!) and came across this one. Thought it would be an appropriate addition to this thread. Romanticised 'Scout' of the 1st Life Guards, painting probably intended to be France 1914. By the famous Harry Payne.

James Brown would have been a fully trained cavalryman before he left these shores, and I'm sure they had their horses with them behind the lines in 1915, but I'm also sure they never got many opportunities to use them as intended after 1914!
