| Description | Diplomatic tour group on their way to the Front, France. There is a large group of smartly-dressed gentlemen loosely arranged on a set of stairs, which lead up to a wide terrace accessed through tall French windows. The gentlemen all seem relaxed and are looking at the camera. Some of them are smoking and there is an assortment of uniforms and civilian clothing on show. [Original reads: 'OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN ON THE BRITISH WESTERN FRONT IN FRANCE. Distinguished visitors to the Front, including the Prince of Siam and Mr Garvin, the well known London Editor.
