Photograph of a retinue walking up a hill en route to Mussoorie, India. In the centre of the group is Princess Mary (1867-1953), later Queen Mary, who is carried by porters whilst holding a parasol for protection against the sun. To the left of the Princess, a man with a pith helmet walks to the side. Near to the front of the congregation stand two girls with their backs to the viewer and wearing straw hats. In the foreground stands a soldier in left side profile.
