Post WW1 Real Postcard - York & Lancaster Regiment in tropical whites playing the Battalion from Church

An interesting picture, Postally unused but identified on reverse in two separate hands. Some corner wear to three corners and a small crease in top right corner, otherwise a good colonial image of the regiment headed by the band on the march in tropical climes, which by the looks of the background is in Africa.
