Kinally, Percy Woodland, Tyrwhitt Drake, R. Morgan bottom row - F. Giles, J. McMaster, J. Bloomfield, G. Jones. Among the rider pictured here, Herbert Tyrwhitt-Drake was killed in action, March 1915 and Percy Woodland, who had won the Grand National in 1903 on Drumcree and 1913 on Covercoat, survived the war despite being shot down in Egypt in December 1916 while serving with the Royal Flying Corps. George Byng, Lord Torrington, a gentleman jockey and race horse owner who had married the actress and Gaiety Girl Eleanor Souray in 1910, was taken prisoner-of-war in Philippopolis while serving with the Royal Naval Air Service, but survived to live a somewhat scandalous life punctuated by debt and affairs.
