Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Cotesworth, James Trevelyan : Lieutenant James Trevelyan Cotesworth served with the Yorkshire Regiment of the British Army (specifically in the year 1884), and may have been the creator of this album because he is featured in a portrait of the cricket team in the album. In the album itself there are photographs of anonymous individuals who served in the 19th Regiment of the Princess of Wales' Own, and the 6th Royal Lancashire Militia.

Cotesworth was born in January 1858 and joined the 19th regiment as a 2nd lieutenant in 1879, and became a 1st lieutenant in 1880.
