    Qing Dynasty army

    Given the clarity of the photo i would assume @ 1900.

    The Chin'g armies wore the Manchu cap for centuries and the Mandarin's dragon emblems would denote his "rank" (Oh, where is that Antique Collectors' magazine article?)...as you know.

    A number of other European officers who were with Gordon in the Ever Victorious Army stayed on in Imperial China right through the Boxer war.

    A number of others were hired as technical experts-notably artillery officers by the Empress. Some were even KIA in the Japanese war.

    Great photo. Would you be prepared to allow it to be used in a book on the armies of the Boxer Uprising and 8 Powers War, please? You would, of course, be cited as the source.

    Thanks

    Mike
