Two from the same studio
These two soldiers look so much alike they might be brothers. I also think that this may be from the same studio as posted here. All of the negatives were marked in the upper left corner with an inventory number. Neither of these cards are marked with the studio name so I can't be sure.

Dear Laura

Three members of the Corps of Royal Engineers in Farnham which the writer misspells as Frankham. He also writes he is leaving "to go under canas again". I believe he meant he is going under canvas or moving to a tent.

No connection between these four portraits other than the similar style. Two of these soldiers served in the Royal Field Artillery.
