Can anyone help to interpret this photograph of two postcards which I know refer to the 1905 Russo-Japanese War. What I donβt yet understand is _how_ it refers to it. Who is the bell boy on the right? The uniformed horse? Why is he laughing? What does the pump refer to? Anyone?

Does anyone know the Japanese translation of the "Fall off your Horse!" exchange?
Hey! I was just wondering if anybody with access to the original Japanese manga of Steel Ball Run knows what Gyro and Johnny originally say in the "Tell him to eat shit, Johnny"/"Fall off your Horse!" exchange. I'm trying to make a believable animated version of that scene, as well as others, and as such, want to dub it in Japanese. But try as I might I can't find any available Japanese scans anywhere.
Thanks! <3

The down fall of BJP is gonna be absorption of Congress Neta and horse trading they have done. BJP doesn't have a discipline unit to keep everyone in check so basically what Congress did for the past 70 plus years BJP is now gonna start doing
Modi, Amit, JP nadda must not allow clout to get to their head or their own down fall is evitable. Also they need to find a better strategy instead of blaming Congress for all the problems. Give people examples of the problems they fixed and show them what are the current problems and how they are planning on tackling them. If not corruption is gonna spring up in BJP and then the downfall is Evitable.
