EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the distinguished figure of Sergeant-Major Henry Bakerlate on the occasion of his 83rd birthday in 1909. A proud and dedicated member of the Yeomen of the Guard, Henry enlisted in the 61st Regiment of the regiment in 1842, and had served faithfully for over six decades. His long and useful life was celebrated by King Edward VII, who took the opportunity to congratulate him on his dedication and commitment to the tradition-rich institution. Dressed in the elegant and ceremonial uniform of the Yeomen of the Guard, Henry's velvet tunic, ruff, and five medals pinned to his chest are evidence of his unwavering service. The Yeomen of the Guard, also known as the "Beefeaters," are an ancient and historic body of soldiers who have been responsible for the ceremonial guarding of the Tower of London since the time of Henry VII. The Yeomen's unique style and custom, which dates back to the Tudor period, is still maintained to this day. Henry's uniform, with its distinctive velvet and gold trim, is a testament to the rich history and tradition of this esteemed regiment. As Henry stands tall and proud, it is clear that he takes great pride in his role as a Yeoman of the Guard. His long and dedicated service is a testament to the enduring appeal and importance of this ceremonial position, which continues to be an integral part of British history and tradition.
