Recruiting sergeants outside the Mitre & Dove, King Street, London in 1877. Soldier could also usually be depended upon to give a gentleman a good time for a couple of bob (£9.00 in todays money)

I also found this quote:

As well as recruiting the young men of the time into the British Army, it was common practice among soldiers to be bought by rich gents for a couple of bob (shillings)

Seaman H. Baker of the United States Naval Reserve was convicted of sodomy, and sentenced to six years in prison in June 1908. Such a handsome man! 

So much suffering! So many had their lives ruined just because of whom they loved and slept with! 💔😭

This brought a tear to my eye. I hoped his life turned out well and was able to feel love and freedom after serving in prison for such an absurd "crime" as to be himself in a way that caused no harm to another living thing.

Monty Glover - An Officer and a Gentleman during World War One. He came from a prosperous middle class family from Leamington Spa. A gay man, he produced an excellent photographic record of the homosexual world in Britain in the first decades of the 20th century. The love of his life was the handsome Ralph Hall.

Household Cavalry (The Blues and Royals) photographed by gay photographer Monty Glover in the 1930′s. Then, as in years gone by, these young guardsmen would supplement their salary by providing “services” for rich gentlemen clients, as described by Joe Ackerley in “My Father and Myself”.
