    Phil - you asked about photo of the installation of the Lord Warden at the Bredenstone - Earl Beauchamp -
    is this the picture you meant?

    Earl Beauchamp was appointed Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports in 1913 but the installation, at the ancient Bredenstone, on the Western Heights, did not take place until the following year. This picture was taken during the military procession up Military Hill, the carriage of the Earl and Countess Beauchamp following close behind the Band of the 3rd Hussars, who made a fine spectacle for local people lining the route up the steep hill, an escort of soldiers in the Royal East Kent Yeomanry acting as the rear guard. A second photograph published in the Dover Express at the time provided a close-up of Lord Beauchamp's open carriage and the Yeomanry. (Scan of an original sepia photograph believed taken by the Dover Express and published in the newspaper on 24th July 1914.) The carriage is opposite two boys walking up hill, towards the right.
