This early
Cabinet Card displays the beautiful full dress uniform of a
Lieutenant in the Royal Horse Artillery (rank shown by the
simple Austrian knot as cuff ornament, as well as the Crown
displayed on the collar).
Woolwich
had a long association with the Royal Regiment of Artillery, being
the location of its Headquarters, as well as hosting many
Batteries.
The Cobb
& Challis backplate proudly state that they held "Special
Appointment to the Royal Military Academy and to S.A.I.
Monseigneur le Prince Impérial".
Le Prince
Impérial joined the Academy at Woolwich by mid-1872. He died in
1879 in the Zulu War. |
