Original 1898 Queen Victoria British Army Officer Commission Document
SIGNED FROM THE QUEEN AT THE UP LEFT !!!
I asked from AI to give me translation of the document:
Official British Army officer commission issued in the name of Queen Victoria.
It states that:
Queen Victoria, “by the Grace of God,” Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India,
appoints:
“Ronald Hugh Walrond Rose, Gentleman”
to become an officer in the British Land Forces.
The document says that, because of the Queen’s special trust and confidence in his:
- loyalty,
- courage,
- and good conduct,
he is appointed to the rank of:
“2nd Lieutenant”
effective:
It instructs him:
- to faithfully perform the duties of his rank,
- to maintain discipline and order,
- to command the officers and soldiers under him,
- and to obey the orders of his superior officers according to the rules and discipline of war.
It also commands the soldiers and officers under him to obey him as their superior officer.
At the bottom, it states:
“Given at Our Court at Saint James’s”
(St James’s Palace, London)
dated:
“in the sixty-second year of Our Reign.”
The document ends with:
“By Her Majesty’s Command.”
It is essentially a royal military appointment document officially commissioning Ronald Hugh Walrond Rose as a British Army officer during the Victorian era.
