Three Coldstream Guards -- Crimean Braves
Three Coldstream Guards posing in uniform, with their weapons, in a photograph entitled Crimean Braves. The men are Joseph Numa, John Potter and James Deal. This is one of a series of photographs of soldiers taken for Queen Victoria in the summer of 1856, on the men's return to England from the Crimean War. The Queen wanted the photographs to be taken as soon as possible, before the men shaved off their beards or otherwise changed their warlike appearance
