Photograph of three soldiers of the 95th (Derbyshire) Regiment of Foot who served in the Crimean War. Standing from left to right are Sergeant John Geary, Thomas Onslow and Lance Corporal Patrick Carthay. All are wearing the uniform of their regiment with a rucksack and have a rifle with a bayonet attached tucked under their right arm. This photograph, printed by Jabez Hughes in 1883, is a carbon print pasted over the original photograph.
Throughout the war Queen Victoria had taken an active interest in the welfare of the troops and on their return from the Crimea she met a number of the veterans at Buckingham Palace, Chatham Military Hospital and Aldershot Garrison. Following these meetings she commissioned a series of photographs of the veterans from the photographers Joseph Cundall and Robert Howlett.
