Engraved Brass Nameplate

Inscription: "Lt. Colonel Mc.Quarie 86th. Regt. 1805."

This engraved nameplate is somewhat anomalous in its claim that Lachlan Macquarie held the rank of Lt. Colonel in the 86th. Regiment. Macquarie had not been formally gazetted with this rank in the regiment (except by brevet, whilst serving in India in 1802).
