Thursday 1st Movember: The Earl of Kerry

I don't normally buy moustaches sported by famous people but this one slipped through the net. If I had read the back properly I would have spotted the following words, half-erased by someone else at some point, 'Earl of Kerry autograph'.

So, here we have an early photograph of Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice, the 6th Marquess of Lansdowne, who styled himself the Earl of Kerry until 1927 when he succeeded to his seat. He was a young soldier here well before the First World War, possibly in the Grenadier Guards or the Oxfordshire Light Infantry, but he went on to have a distinguished career in both the Boer and First World Wars before becoming a politician on both the English and Irish sides of the channel.

The mystery is who is the A J H who sent the photo of the dapper Earl to a young lady, writing "How do you like this?"

How do you like what exactly?
