Photograph showing an inspection the of 2nd Battalion Grenadier Guards by the Colonel of the Regiment, HRH The Duke of Connaught, Windsor 1934. A line of officers in full ceremonial dress line up to shake the Duke of Connaught’s hand - currently the Duke, wearing frock coat and forage cap, shakes the hand of Capt George John Miller, Director of Music. Standing next to Capt Miller (closer to the camera) is QM and Lt Andrew Aston, and closest to the camera in the line of officers is Major Frederick Arthur Montague Browning. Standing beside the Duke wearing full dress is Lt Col Frederick George Beaumont-Nesitt. Behind him, wearing frock coat and forage cap, is Col Guy Elland Carne Rasch, and just visible behind the Commanding Officer is Major and Adjutant John A Prescott. Some women, perhaps wives of the officers, can be seen watching in the distance. From an album of 69 photographs covering the period 1922-1938 - mainly relating to the 2nd and 3rd Battalions Grenadier Guards, taken at camps and events in Aldershot, Windsor, Pirbright, various barracks in London and the Guards Depot in Caterham.
