Prize Distribution to the Second Volunteer Battalion Royal Fusiliers at St. James's Hall, 1883. 'Lady Wolseley, accompanied by her distinguished husband, distributed the prizes, for shooting, to successful competitors in the 2nd Volunteer Battalion attached to the Royal Fusiliers, of which General Lord Wolseley is the honorary Colonel. The battalion is under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Routledge, and has attained a high degree of military efficiency...The hall was tastefully decorated with flags and banners. Among the officers present were Colonel the Hon. P. Methuen, Colonel Sir R. Wilbraham, K.C.B., Lieutenant-Colonel Logan, Major-General Kent, Colonel Clive, Major-General Elkington, C.B., Lieutenant-Colonel Butler, Lieutenant-Colonel Keyser, Lieutenant-Colonel Alt, and Lieutenant-Colonel Bushby. When Lady Wolseley had finished the graceful ceremony of handing the prizes, Colonel Wilbraham, as the oldest of the Royal Fusiliers, moved a vote of thanks to her, and Lord Wolseley replied in a speech commending the bond of union between the Army and the Volunteers, whose progress he regarded with great satisfaction, believing that some day we should have a terrible war, with which the Army alone might be unable to cope'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
