A new competition

Since guessing is allowed (and my only hope) -

1. Guess what the winner of the shoot is wearing (the eleventh man from the left - seventh standing from the left)?


A garland of flowers


2. What is his awarded title for winning the shoot by shooting the most hares and foxes?


King for the day


3. Which man in the picture is my Grandfather ???
(please say whether he is standing or sitting and the number of persons from the left or right). A hint - his nickname was the "Little Major".


Third standing from the right (the little guy!)

Well done in finding this competition. I had completely forgotten about it. Have I still got that book? Somewhere probably!

The man is wearing a wreath made from vine leaves. The "King of the Hunt" would be garlanded with a large wreath of vine leaf rods.

No.2 - close - King of the Hunt. The hunt was held on the King's Birthday holiday weekend.

No.3 - He is the fifth standing guy from the left, I think!? It looks like him from other photos. He is standing looking to the left, with a bit of a thousand yard stare, or perhaps showing his profile . Wearing a suit and tie and a hat.

He was nicknamed "the Little Major" because he was small, but not a military man. However he liked to order people around per reports so he got the nickname, probably behind his back.
