| I am not going to elaborate here on the
life of the future Field-Marshall - superb reference being

The photograph
is interesting in its own way : while displaying Colonel French in
the 19th Hussars' attire, it is quite clearly labelled "MAJ-GENERAL
J.D.P. FRENCH"
We are most certainly in the presence here of a "Boer War
Souvenir", displaying the celebrities of the Army.
