Richard Augustus Clack, 'Capt Francis Garratt'

            Oil on canvas, 'Captain Francis Garratt of the 3rd Dragoon Guards', c1842, by Richard Augustus Clack

Acquired by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Museum in 2018

The portrait will be included in a new display in the museum's planned redevelopment, telling the story of the life of a cavalry officer in the period between the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 and the start of the Crimean War in 1854. During this period, the regiment was largely deployed on civil defence duties, quelling social unrest arising from poor living conditions and lack of political reform. In 1831, prior to Garratt's commission the following year, the regiment participated in the suppression of the Reform Bill riots in Bristol and in 1846 moved to Scotland for two years where it was active in suppressing Chartist riots in Hamilton and Glasgow.
