Identity of subject

[edit]

This photo was identified as Henry Howard, 19th Earl of Suffolk.

The Welsh Portrait Collection simply describes the subject as 'Henry Howard'. It appears to be a different Henry Howard:

The photo shows a man in a colonel’s uniform wearing (among other awards):

-       The insignia of the Companion of the Order of the Bath;

-       The India General Service Medal (1854–95),

-       Queen’s South Africa Medal.

The 19th Earl died while holding the rank of Major, and was never a colonel, was never admitted to the Order of the Bath and was not present at any relevant Indian campaign or during the South African war.

I have therefore removed the reference to the 19th Earl. 2A00:23C7:B708:1501:DDAB:B928:DA1A:5FF1 13:48, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
