Prsented to a John G. Johnston, this image shows a Drum Major - named Martin - of the 1st Battalion, 15th Regiment of Foot. The photograph was taken just prior to the battalion's departure from Canada to Bermuda in 1868. Martin wears what must be a Long Service & Good Conduct Medal since his battalion's last active service had been in the West Indies in 1805 and would not again be in the field until World War One. Martin along with his battalion would have been on alert during the so-called Trent Affair between Great Britian and the United States in 1862.
