<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 81439, member: 44&quot;]Here is Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, Prince of Wales - the future Edward VIII (called David by his family) and died as the Duke of Windsor - in his Welsh Guard&#039;s Colonel&#039;s uniform. The picture was presumably given to Field Marshall Viscount Byng in 1923 when Byng was the Governor General of Canada on a visit . The uniform looks identical to your pic with the exception of the number of rows of pins/badges on his chest. </p><p><a href="http://www.reemandansie.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&amp;productId=20359&amp;archived" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.reemandansie.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&amp;productId=20359&amp;archived" rel="nofollow">http://www.reemandansie.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&amp;productId=20359&amp;archived</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Edward visited Canada several times when he was Prince of Wales. In 1923 he did visited Pekiskoa, Alberta, Canada where he, the Prince, had a ranch. He also visited other towns. Other visits were in 1919, 1924, 1927. Scroll down to 1919:</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_royal_tours_of_Canada_(18th–20th_centuries)#1900.E2.80.931949" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_royal_tours_of_Canada_(18th–20th_centuries)#1900.E2.80.931949" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_royal_tours_of_Canada_(18th–20th_centuries)#1900.E2.80.931949</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
