Several General officers who usually attend the dinner were unavoidably 
absent, among them were General Sir Collingwood Dickson, V.C., G-.C.B., and 
General W. H. Askwith, both of whom were prevented from attending by 
illness; the Duke of Cambridge, in proposing the health of “ The Senior 
Officers of the Regiment,” made a feeling allusion to their absence.
