EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the full dress coatee worn by Captain Erasmus Goodwin, a distinguished officer of the 4th (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards in approximately 1813. The exquisite craftsmanship and intricate details of this military uniform are truly remarkable. Captain Goodwin held the position of Regimental Paymaster from 1805 to 1817, demonstrating his financial acumen and dedication to his regiment. However, his story took a tragic turn during his service in the Peninsular War from 1811 to 1813. While bravely fighting alongside his unit, he fell victim to a debilitating illness that plagued him for the rest of his life. Returning to Britain after experiencing the horrors of war, Captain Goodwin's health never fully recovered. Despite battling with declining well-being, he continued serving until his untimely demise in 1817. His commitment and sacrifice serve as a poignant reminder of the hardships faced by soldiers during this tumultuous period. This photograph not only captures an extraordinary piece of military history but also commemorates an individual who dedicated himself selflessly to duty despite personal adversity. It stands as a testament to Captain Erasmus Goodwin's unwavering loyalty and serves as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by officers like him in service to their country.
