Summary
[edit]DescriptionBritish officers Guides.jpg |
English: Photograph taken by John Burke in 1878, with a formal group portrait of the Queen's Own Guides posed beneath an awning. The most famous of these was Major Wigram Battye, seated at far left, whose family were known as heroic soldiers (he died fighting outside Jalalabad in April 1879). His brother F. D. Battye is standing third from right. His best friend Lt. Hamilton stands at extreme right, and received a Victoria Cross for his actions in April 1879, but died a few months later while leading the Guides' escort in Kabul. Colonel Jenkins, standing fourth from left, commanded the Guides during the war, except for a brief period (when this photograph was taken) when he served as a brigadier-general with the Peshawar Valley Field Force. |
