Review at Windsor of troops from the Ashantee War: the Queen passing along the line, 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 bugle sounded, the officers fell into their places, the crowd of spectators became silent and attentive, as the Royal carriages drove on to the review-ground. Her Majesty was in a carriage drawn by four white horses, and preceded by two outriders on white horses. With her were the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Edinburgh, and Princess Christian'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
