Footnote

Note: While it was initially considered the sitter for the first piece in this lot was Major-General Sir Hector Archibald MacDonald and perhaps copied from a known portrait or photograph of him, some of the uniform accessories appear to be for the Black Watch / 42nd Regiment of which he was never a member.
