Sergeant Robert Menzies, winner of the Queen's Prize at Wimbledon, 1873. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Herbert Watkins and Haigh. 'Sergeant Menzies never before Tuesday fired with a small-bore rifle, and the credit of securing the highest marksman's distinction is consequently all the greater to the young man...Sergeant Menzies received a great ovation on his arrival in Edinburgh on Monday night. He was met at the Waverly station by the Highland companies of the Queen's Edinburgh Brigade, and was carried by them shoulder high to the drill-hall, where congratulatory speeches were delivered...and Sergeant Menzies' health was pledged in a flowing bumper'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
