The photograph is taken from a reference book we have in the Surrey Heath Museum library, it is a biography of a local Bacteriologist Frederick Twort ('In Focus, A Biography of Frederick William Twort (1877-1950) - Anthony Twort', 1993). The caption next to the photo says 'perhaps Olympic Games, otherwise probably Bisley'. Horatio Poulter is pictured left on the image.
