The Yeomanry


Private, Review Order 1867


This photo of an older member of the Hampshire Yeomanry shows little more than the Private in Review Order, c1865. However it does show the white leather waist-belt from which his sword is slung. It is fastened with a snake clasp. Again the dress jacket is the early pattern, with a small figure 8 in the middle of the braid frogging, and no caps on the drops. An inscription accompanying this photo refers to him as a corporal, but there are no rank chevrons on his upper right sleeve.
