FOUNDATIONS OF THE 72nd REGT, 1910-1914

Fondations du 72e régiment, 1910-1914

Admiral Togo inspects the Seaforth 72nd Regiment, 1911

Japanese Admiral Togo inspects the Seaforth 72nd Regiment, 27 August 1911. Colonel Leckie (in trews) is behind the Admiral. This visit may have been on his return to Japan after visiting England. On rear: "J.W. Bathurst" Marshal-Admiral Marquis Togo Heihachiro, OM, GCVO (27 January 1848 – 30 May 1934), was a gensui or admiral of the fleet in the Imperial Japanese Navy and one of Japan's greatest naval heroes. He was termed by Western journalists as "the Nelson of the East". In 1911, Togo returned to England for the first time in over 30 years to attend the coronation of King George V, the Coronation Fleet Review at Portsmouth, to attend naval alumni dinners and visit dockyards on the Clyde and in Newcastle. In February 1871, Togo and eleven other Japanese officer cadets were selected to travel to Britain to further their naval studies. Between extensive practical sea training and an extended voyage to Australia, Togo lived and studied in Britain for a period of seven years.
