Unknown photographer, Brighton Artillery Corps showing Adam Lindsay Gordon as a member of the Corps 1870, gelatin silver photograph, 24.5 x 37.5 cm. Gift of A. C. Wilson, Esquire, J.P., 1936.
In 1936, a plate commemorating Adam Lindsay Gordon's service as a soldier of the Queen was installed in the Wilson Memorial Hall— formerly known as the Brighton Drill Hall— recording that the poet was sworn in there as a member of the Brighton Artillery Corps in 1869. Gordon lived in Brighton for only 14 months, but took an active interest in the Artillery Corps. In addition to the memorial plate, two photographs of the Brighton Artillery corps, were unveiled by Mr A. C. Wilson, a son of the Councillor Thomas Wilson before whom the poet took the oath of allegiance to the Queen. This photograph shows a group of the corps, with Gordon in uniform.
