An invitation from the Duchess of Buckingham and Chandos (neé Lady Mary Campbell) to Henry Dalrymple White (1820-1886). At the time Dalrymple White was a captain in the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons. Later, as their commanding officer, he led a squadron at the Charge of the Heavy Brigade during the Battle of Balaclava in October 1854, during which his helmet was pierced by a Russian sabre. By the end of his career he was a general and KCB. Lady Mary divorced her husband three years later (which needed an Act of Parliament at the time), when Buckingham went bankrupt.
