Photograph of Lieutenant-General Jones (1791-1866) and his staff gathered in front of a building. Lieutenant-General Jones is sitting in a chair at the top of the steps, holding a piece of paper in his right hand. A soldier sits on the steps to the left and is looking up at him. Two soldiers stand to the right, one leaning against a wall with his hand on his hip. All are wearing military uniform. The building behind has an open door and window and there is a tree to the right.
