The 10th Bombay Native Infantry would shortly embark for Abyssinia where they formed part of the advance guard and took part in the capture of Magdala. The officer to the front is Colonel John Field, the other officers should be Major Herbert Henderson James (probably behind Field, without the beard), Captain T.W.W Pierce, Captain Anthony Durand and Captain Charles Blowers. Herbert Henderson James is know to have owned a grey horse and a white dog (named Sass), so there is a good chance that they are to the left of the regiment.
