COLONEL WILLIAM HENRY MACKINNON the Colonel commanding the City of London Imperial Volunteers, better known as the C.LV., whom we welcome in our midst, has every reason to be proud of his regiment. The gallant Colonel has done very much for the regiment and the regiment has done much for him. Colonel Mackinncn entered the Army in 1870, became Colonel in 1889, and last year was Assistant Adjutant-General of the Home District. ( Thoto by Elliott and Fry. —
