PAOLYC Review by the Duke of Cambridge
(April 25th1885)
H.R.H. The Duke of Cambridge (1895)
The Duke of Cambridge was born in 1819, and entered the army
in 1837, with the rank of Colonel. He became Major-General
in 1845, Lieutenant-General in 1854, General in 1856, Field
Marshal in 1862. In the Crimea the Duke commanded the 1st
Division, and was present at the Alma, Balaclava and at Inkerman,
where he had his horse shot under him. In July, 1856, the
Duke was appointed Commander-in-Chief, which office he held
until October 1895. On his retirement the Duke of
Cambridge was specially appointed Chief Personnel A.D.C. to the
Queen, and Colonel-in-Chief of the Army, a distinction that will
give the Duke precedence and an ex-officio position at
all reviews and military ceremonies he may be present at.
Two PAOLYC Squadrons and the mounted band are seen in this
