Review at Windsor of troops from the Ashantee War: the 42nd Highlanders marching past the Queen, 1874. Illustration of '...the review by her Majesty the Queen, in Windsor Park, of the troops lately commanded by Sir Garnet Wolseley in the campaign against the Ashantees...These three brave regiments of the British Army, with the detachments of Artillery and Engineers, had been doing real hard work for the service of the British Empire. They had come home, from a laborious and dangerous enterprise in the worst climate upon earth, to receive due thanks for their fidelity, and praise for the fortitude by which a complete success had been happily won. The Queen herself had desired to see them as early as possible, and to give them a token of her gracious approbation...The carriages of spectators were ranged along the east side of Queen Anne's Ride, looking towards the Long Walk. Near the south end of this line was the Royal standard, with the saluting-point where the Queen would sit in her carriage while the troops marched past'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
