Likenesses

[PB: It is said that DTC is included in Roger Fenton's photograph of the 13LD. This version, in the NAM, is even annotated with his name. But which is he? See also the page on Captain Soame Gambier Jenyns, 13th Light Dragoons, which looks in more detail at different versions of the photograph.]

Photograph annotated with two keys. Above, the key printed in the Regimental History, p.363. Below, the NAM key. Sergt Major Linkon (Reg. Hist.no.15), could not have been present as he was a prisoner of the Russians at this time (mid-summer 1855).

"Not shown" means there is no outline of the man in the key. "Not named" means there is an outline but no number or name. "Unknown" is as in the original key.
