English: Player's Cigarettes cigarette card representing a riflemen from 1st City of Edinburgh Rifle Volunteer Corps in 1859 uniform.
The back of the card reads: "THE 1ST CITY OF EDINBURGH RIFLE VOLUNTEER CORPS, 1859. Now: 4th/5th (Queens Edinburgh) (52nd Searchlight Regt.) The Royal Scots (The Royal Regt.) This was the first volunteer regiment to be organised in Scotland and was popularly known as “The Edinburgh Blacks” from the dark colour of its uniform. With the formation of the Territorial Force, the Brigade was organised as the 4th and 5th Bns. (Queen’s Edinburgh Rifles), The Royal Scots. Both battalions fought at Gallipoli. In 1922 they were amalgamated, and in 1938 were reorganised as a Searchlight Regt. We show a member of the Corps of 1859, with the Scott Monument, Edinburgh, in the background." |
