Lieutenant John Chard: What's our strength? Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead: Seven officers including surgeon, commissaries and so on; Adendorff now I suppose; wounded and sick 36, fit for duty 97 and about 40 native levies. Not much of an army for you.

Isandula,
The photograph of Milne in the “Zulu War Image of the Week” has him in the uniform of a Sub-Lieutenant.
He was promoted to Sub-Lieutenant on 20 Apr 1875 while serving on HMS Raleigh. (Co-incidentally, also serving on “Raleigh” was Signalman 3rd Class William H. Aynsley, who was to become his servant when Milne served on Lord Chelmsford’s staff.)
Milne was promoted to Lieutenant on 1 Jun 1876.
Do you know where and when this photo was taken?
Petty Officer Tom

Hi Petty Officer Tom The carte de visite photograph of Archibald B. Milne was taken by Mr. Jabez Hughes; Royal Photographic Studio (Photographer to the Queen and H.R.H. The Prince of Wales); Regina House; Ryde, Isle of Wight. Milne was quite favored with the royals, who called him 'Arky-Barky,' and spent a lot of time visiting them. He served on the staff of no less than four kings. (Ian Knight, Who's Who in the Zulu War 1879, page 147.
