Reason: Another of Adam's post-retirement restorations, this is the only image in the article, which had sat without one for six years previous. It only uses a handful of colors, so it looks a bit garish, but Adam says that is typical of the time period. Comment from Adam: "Good lord, this took ages. There were many rips, some small missing areas, and severe vignetting. Besides the normal removing of dirt and dust, all these had to be corrected, involving reconstruction work and careful levels adjustments." I particularly like how the Scots Guards (I presume) are fighting in kilts.
