Volume 5, page 34, sitting number 5638.

[Recorded in the Silvy daybooks as ‘Captain Julian Hall,' this is almost certainly Captain Julian Hamilton Hall of the Coldstream Guards.]

Born on 17 January 1837, Julian Hamilton Hall was the son of Sir John Hall of Dunglass, 5th Bt. A veteran of the Crimean campaign at the age of seventeen, he spent a lifetime in the service of the Coldstream Guards, rising to the rank of Lieutenant-General.

On 6 July 1864 he married Augusta Wilhelmina Louisa Fremantle, daughter of Major-General John Fremantle.

In later life, he lived at 90 Eaton Place, London.

According to the biography that accompanied his cartoon in Vanity Fair in 1898, ‘He wears the most startling haberdashery.’

Lieutenant-General Julian Hamilton Hall died, aged 74, on 15 August 1911 at 90 Eaton Place, London. 

An obituary giving full details of his military career appeared in the Army and Navy Gazette (19 August 1911).
