COLONEL WILLIAM HENRY MACKINNON ,1902 Antique Portrait lithograph,Celebrities of the army COLONEL WILLIAM HENRY MACKINNONApproximate Image Size: 7 1/2 X 10 inches Approximate Overall Size: 10 X 14 inchesPARTIAL DESCRIPTION FROM THE BIOGRAPHY: Colonel Mackinnon, though one of the senior officers of his rank in the service, is not yet fifty years of age. Born December 15th, 1852, the son of an old and much respected ex-Guardsman, he was gazetted to the Grenadier Guards as Ensign and Lieutenant June 22nd, 1870, and became Lieutenant and Captain August 3rd, 1872. Being an enthusiastic soldier, he made up his mind to go in for an Adjutancy, and having obtained his desire in July, 1876, did Adjutant's duty from that date until January, 1881, when his advancement to the, rank of Captain and Lieutenant-Colonel compelled him to vacate. He was not, however, satisfied with the dull routine of garrison life in London and at Windsor, so in June, 1884, he went to Malta to act as Military Secretary to the Governor, exchanging those duties in July, 1885, for the position of Private Secretary to the Governor of Madras. Having become a regimental Major, second in command of a battalion, he was recalled to England at the end of 1886. On February 10th, 1889, he was promoted to the rank of Colonel by brevet, and on July 26th, 1893, was chosen to take up the responsible duties of Assistant Adjutant-General of the Home District. How well he acquitted himself all are aware who had dealings with the Home District Authorities during the next five years. There was nothing that Colonel Mackinnon did not know. Always courteous and obliging, always smart and up to date, it was a happy period for everybody concerned, for as one qualified to express an opinion has placed on record "A better A.A.G. never donned a staff cap." VERY GOOD CONDITION. Printed on heavier textured-glossy type paper. The colors are very bright and clean It does have text on reverse side (doesn't show through the heavier textured type paper) which is a BIOGRAPHY relating to the portrait. A great Genealogy collectible item. Delivery time for items can be anywhere from 10-28 days depending on your location. Items will be shipped within 2 business days of payment received. Digital watermark is not on the actual print. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 10395
