Nice work, Ed! He is the spitting image of the Red Prince. There is a small error in the picture caption in Bassett-Powell's Book,, not repeated in the description, curiously. Frederick Charles was not the Crown Prince, but his cousin. Frederick William was the Crown Prince, also an army commander in 1866 and 1870-71, and husband of Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, also named Victoria.

Thanks, Andrew…noted and revised accordingly (I did a bit of hasty researching but missed the designation error).
