Coronation 1902 - Fijian troops encamped in London
The Fijian troops who were encamped in London after the Coronation of King Edward VII was postponed due to his serious illness. The king fell ill just two days before his scheduled coronation on 26 June 1902 by which time thousands of colonial troops had arrived in London. These chaps presumably remained in London until the new date of 9th August
