拍品专文

Patrick Hamilton joined the 4^thIrish Dragoon Guards as a cornet in 1801 and was promoted to lieutenant in 1805 and captain in 1806. He achieved the rank major in 1819, retiring in 1822. He died two years later at the age of 45 whilst staying at the Blenheim Hotel off Bond Street. He was buried at St. George’s Church, Hanover Square.

The 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards was a cavalry regiment of the British Army, formed in 1685 as the Earl of Arran's Regiment of Cuirassiers. It was renamed the 4th (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards in 1788 and served for two centuries, including the First World War, before being amalgamated with the 7th Dragoon Guards (Princess Royal's) to form the 4th/7th Dragoon Guards in 1922.
