Well done! That is an impressive Wolseley.

Here is a Safari group completely outfitted.

This one has a great shot with a neck curtain on the back of the helmet.

"Monty Python, Empire"!? What!?! Was this a sketch? Admittedly, I haven't seen all the movies, but...what was this a part of? I can't seem to find hide, nor hair of it on the internet.

EDIT: Never mind, found it: "Monty Python- The Meaning of War"

This was some of the text that went with the picture Sarge.
Cadet Life, 1890.
Five young women wearing cadet white pith helmets and holding cadet rifles. The women are not identified; possibly daughters of faculty members.

This would make a fun avatar.
