Great photo. My best regimental collection is for the 13U, so I might be a little partial--just a little--maybe. I have a shooting cord just like that one.
You can just see the pride radiating from this trooper. Great photo. Notice that he has a lance shoe on his left stirrup. Since lances are normally carried on the right side, can we assume that he had a shoe on both sides? I haven't seen this in other photos.
For all of you fathers out there, I hope that you have a happy and blessed day. That also goes for you fathers in countries that do not celebrate when we do in the USA.
