A note on the reverse says "Lagonda 1915". Lagonda cars were manufactured at Egham Hythe in Berkshire. The company was founded by an American, Wilbur Gunn, who named it after a river near his home town in Ohio. I was disappointed that I couldn't see anything in this photo to connect it with cars. The only objects visible are a line of what I took to be paint tins in a row behind the men. However, a little research reveals that Lagonda were not manufacturing cars in 1915, they had converted to war production of.....artillery shells. Does that explain those cylindrical objects?
