This is a presentation picture to commemorate the donation
by the regiment of the horse to Queen Victoria. I have been
unable to establish whether all the people and animals in the
photo were present at the Charge of the Light Brigade which
took place 19 years previously. The soldiers are named, from
the left: Pte. Hunt, Pte. Malaufy, Sgt-Maj. Hughes, Pte. Douglas,
Pte. Lamb and Sgt-Maj. Eccles. They are all bemedalled and bewhiskered and of a certain age which indicates that they could well be veterans of Balaklava. |
