  • Wystan: Ghosted line is likely exposed on the original neg. (we'll double-check). Interesting that it parallels the men kneeling in the front row. - Phil (LOC P&P)
  • Could this have been a rope used to guide the positioning of the men for the group photo? Perhaps it was out of focus when the shot was made? - Wystan

    There is definitely a rope in the next picture. If you look at the larger version of it you can see someone's hand resting on it. Perhaps the line here really is a rope.

    The man holding the flag is Giles Coons, my Great Great Grandfather John Rockwell's
    (pictured behind him to the right in the white shirt) wife's brother. This is the 106th.
