The book was published in 1890. Lloyd took the images from those he had drawn during the Anglo-War some ten years earlier. He adjusted the uniforms - particularly the facings (white rather than grass green) - reflect that the 24th Regt - South Wales Borderers had been ordered to change to universal facings (white) from 1881. Green facings for SWB were restored in 1905.
Lt William Whitelocke Lloyd produced a number of similar books - A Soldier's Life in India - is rare. He was also official artist for P&O Shipping Line. In the new book on Lloyd by David Rattray, you will be able to make comparisons with the 1879 sketches and those appearing in 'On Active Service' |

Thanks, it's really quite interesting. 1890 Edition, 20 plates with captions.
http://search.ebay.com/On-Active-Service_W0QQfkrZ1QQfromZR8 Second one down. It's still at the starting bid of GBP 1 (that's a buck ninety-five in rapidily devaluating USD!) Would the new book by David Rattray and Martin contain the same illustrations I wonder? MAB [Concurrent postings, thanks Martin] |
