Captain Charles James Horne (1841-1910)
|
Captain Horne of the 16th Regiment.
A photograph by William Notman of Montreal, Canada taken in 1861.
Horne was probably involved in military amateur dramatics - he did not even
remove his moustache,
but instead covered it with makeup. The Notman archive in Montreal has other
pictures of Horne.
Charles Horne joined the 16th Regiment as an ensign in 1858. By the end of
his career he was a Major General.
Born in London into a wealthy family, the son of James Thomas Horne, Charles
James Horne had brothers called Henry St. John Horne, Edward and Frederick.
In 1901, by now retired, Major General Horne was living with his wife Elizabeth
in Dorset, and he died in Weymouth in 1910.
