Sir Herbert H. Raphael, Bart., M.P., a great banker, a trustee of the National Gallery, and a man of many weighty public affairs, whose country seat is Allestree Hall, Derby, is now known as Private Raphael. He has joined the 2nd Sportsman’s Battalion, and will shortly go into camp at Gidea Park, which is on one of his own estates. Here Private Raphael will live in a hut. Sir Herbert has deliberately enlisted as a private to set an example to other men. He is very popular with the battalion.

The Sportsman’s Battalion includes any number of athletes and men who are prominent in the racing world. But practically every branch of athletic and sport is now represented in the ranks of the battalion, which has become exceedingly popular.
