Return of troops from the Ashantee War: the Duke of Cambridge addressing the 42nd Highlanders, 1874. Third Anglo-Ashanti War - British soldiers arrive home. 'His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief...went to Portsmouth...to inspect the 42nd Highlanders...The 42nd, in...tunic and trews, were drawn up in double line on the Governor's Green. The Commander-in-Chief and Staff entered the Green on foot, and were received with arms presented, colours lowered, and "God Save the Queen" from the band. His Royal Highness, after greeting Colonel M'Leod, walked down the ranks, and took up his position at the saluting-flag...The men were then formed up again in a hollow square, facing inwards, and the Duke, stepping forward into their midst, addressed them. He congratulated the Highlanders on the good work they had done, work which the fortune of War had put into their hands instead of their fellows. He complimented them on their appearance, and told them that they would before long have the honour of hearing from the lips of the Queen herself her opinion of their gallant conduct. The regiment was then marched back to barracks and his Royal Highness returned to town'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
