Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Player's Cigarettes cigarette card representing a private of The Law Association Volunteers in 1803. The back of the card reads: "THE LAW ASSOCIATION VOLUNTEERS, 1803. Now: The Inns of Court Regiment When danger from Napoleon threatened, London raised many corps of Volunteers, among which “The Law Association Volunteers” were prominent. At the Hyde Park Review of 1803 King George III nicknamed the Law Association “The Devil’s Own.” In Queen Victoria’s reign the Inns of Court Regiment formed part of the famous “Grey Brigade.” During the Great War it was an officer producing unit, training 11,000 officers. Today it consists of one horsed squadron and two light tank squadrons of cavalry. We show a member of the Law Association Volunteers in the dress of 1803. The background shows the Hall and Chapel of Lincoln’s Inn in the early 19th century.
