The Royal Visit to Warwickshire: the Prince of Wales reviewing the Warwickshire Yeomanry Corps, 1895. 'From a Sketch by our Special Artist, Mr. Melton Prior. The Warwickshire Yeomanry Regiment, under the command of Lord Willoughby de Broke, had attained its centenary, which was celebrated on the Friday by a grand parade and inspection, held on the racecourse common. His Royal Highness, in the undress uniform of a Field Marshal, on a black charger, accompanied by Lord Roberts and General Sir Evelyn Wood, and by Lord Leigh, attired as Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire, appeared on the ground at noon...The Prince of Wales took up his position at the saluting point by the Royal Standard, to see the Warwickshire Yeomanry march past, after which they went through the sword exercise, trotted and cantered, and performed a series of field evolutions. His Royal Highness, riding to the head of the massed squadrons, briefly addressed the commander, officers, and men, congratulating them upon the appearance and the creditable proficiency of their regiment'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
