At that time, all army personnel would have been obliged to sport a moustache. That only stopped during the first world war.

It is the army before the first ever game between Army and Navy.

Before the game was an annual thing, this was a one off at the Kensington Oval in 1878.

The Broad Arrow, a contemporary newspaper, described it thus:

A fine exhibition of football delighted the somewhat small number of spectators. Bush scored the first try for the Navy from a scrummage near the line. The goal was kicked by Orford. A band of naval spectators who had taken up their position beneath a white ensign mounted on the roof of a drag greeted this score with great cheering. The greasy state of the ground was not favourable for any great display of running. Encouraged by a cry from their supporters 'Come on Navy, Force the Passage of the Straights' the Navy mounted great pressure and scored a touch down. In the second half the Navy scored a second try. Wrench of the Army took advantage of some bad passing by the Navy and scored the Army try: The goal was kicked but this ended the scoring and the Navy deservedly won the first match between the Services.

Ha, how times have changed.

Can't imagine why he was changing at Oxford St though, should be Bakerloo Line from North Wembley to Oxford Circus, or Metropolitan from Wembley Park & change at Baker Street.

Very misleading clue.
