Summary

Portrait of a man in a military uniform, identified on the back (in a later hand) as 'Thomas Gilbert born Camden NSW 21 October 1840'. The uniform worn by Thomas Gilbert, which includes his dress sword, is most likely that of an officer in the Adelaide Regiment of Volunteer Rifles. This regiment was raised in 1860, and was renamed Prince Alfred's Rifle Volunteers in November 1867. See also B 72997 and B 72998.
