This image is from a hunting trip taken in India. The man on the left is identified as R.D. Harvey and Byrdie and Guy are on the right. Sarah Byrd 'Byrdie' Dunsmuir and Guy Audain were married in October 1901. After Byrdie had her first child, James, in 1903, she joined her husband and his regiment in Aurungabad, India. Byrdie did not enjoy the life of an army wife and so they came to live in Victoria in 1906, with an income provided by James Dunsmuir.
