West Indian Troops, 1880 - 1889
Scope and Contents
234 x 174 mm. A view showing a number of troops standing to attention on a parade ground. There are seven Europeans dressed in officers’ uniforms at the front of the contingent, five standing to attention with swords and two on horseback. To one side of the main body of soldiers is a small group, in very similar uniform, with musical instruments. The uniform appears identical to that worn by the band members pictured in Y307A/2.
