In 2021 we published an article by John Ellis about Cyril Adolphus Stuart. Recently, John stumbled across a photo of Cyril and we have added it to the original article. Published in the Daily Mirror in its 8th March 1915 edition, the photo includes the King in the background (mounted, second right) and, in a separate picture, the Queen presenting Cyril with his prize.
The caption under the photo reads “King George, always at home with his soldiers, acted on Saturday as starter in the big military race run at Aldershot, when over 500 soldiers competed. The Queen very graciously presented the prizes. The race was won by Private Stewart [sic], a coloured soldier from Jamaica.”
Within six months Cyril was dead, he died of his wounds on 11th August 1915.
