Description

This is the earliest known photograph of Jimmy, described in 'The Bugle' of 27 October 1899, as taken with the Sergeants, at Kasr-el Nil Barracks, Cairo in 1886. Although 'The Bugle' describes him as a 'little dot of 3', he was, in fact, less than two years old. Unfortunately, the full photograph has not survived; only the section which shows Jimmy.

Notes

He is shown in a khaki drill uniform, with sergeant's stripes and red sash and the Egypt Medal and Khedive's Star.
