Another one of my finds from the collectors' fair yesterday, was this photograph of a Major in the 2nd Battalion, Connaught Rangers, photographed at what is believed to be the Regimental Depot, circa 1890:

Given the other paperwork that was there, I believe, that this officer may be George Froom or John Hume, who served in the 94th in 1879, I'd err towards the former.

There's a photograph of the what appears to be the same officer post 1880 on the Soldiers of the Queen site, see [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

John,

As I wrote above given the paperwork that was there with the photograph it led my to that conclusion as it all related to the Depot of the Connaught Rangers.

The paperwork belonged to a Captain Edmund Alexander Grubbe, who joined the 88th (Connaught Rangers) Regiment in 1879 as a 2nd Lieutenant having previously served in the Royal Bucks Militia (The King's Own).  Grubbe did not serve with the 88th in South Africa as he was too late.

Later in his career whilst serving as a Captain he served at the Connaught Rangers Depot, at the time the Depot was under the command of Major John Hume, Major George Froom was the Brigade-Major of the Connaught's Brigade at the same time.

There's an oil painting of Froom in the National Army Museum collection see [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

However, it doesn't help matters as far as establishing an identity of the two officers in the photograph, in my opinion.

Sadly my wallet didn't run to the several thousands of pounds that the dealer was asking for the lot!

I see that the National Portrait Gallery holds two photographs of John James Francis Hume.

But it will cost £45.00 to see one of them Mad

Major (later Lieutenant Colonel) George Froom, 2nd Battalion The Connaught Rangers
by unknown artist
Date painted: c.1881
Oil on canvas, 61 x 76.2 cm
Collection: National Army Museum
Froom wears the Zulu War Medal for 1877–1879. His regiment, formerly entitled the 94th Foot, had fought at the Battle of Ulundi and played an important part in the expedition against Sekukuni, a Transvaal chieftain based just outside Zululand. It was after the successful conclusion of these operations that a section of the 94th, which had been split into separate companies to police the Transvaal, suffered a disastrous defeat at Bronkhorst Spruit at the hands of local Boers. Froom, however, in command of ‘C’ Company, was warned of impending attack and immediately fortified the nearest garrison, Standerton, for which he was mentioned in despatches.

This painting may have been commissioned to commemorate both the award of the medal, probably received in 1881 when the regiment returned to Ireland from South Africa, and Froom’s majority which came into effect on 1 July 1881."
