Death of His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Death of His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, 1850....after passing a tranquil day, [the Duke] expired somewhat suddenly, and without suffering, at twenty minutes before ten o'clock....The melancholy intelligence was immediately announced to the Queen and Prince Albert by Major Baron Knesebeck, principal Equerry to the Royal Duke...At the completion of his military studies, Prince Adolphus had his first commission as ensign at the age of sixteen; and having become a master of the German language, by his stay of three years at Gottingen, he visited the court of Prussia, and returned to England in 1793. During that year he served with the British forces before Dunkirk, and came back wearing a coat which exhibited several sabre-marks, and a helmet through which he had been wounded in the eye. He is stated to have received nine wounds in action'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
