There was another parade of the regiments in Mote Park in 1837, with Lord Romney again providing the hospitality.
In 1856, the West Kent Yeomanry was on Annual Training at Mote Park, when there an unfortunate tragedy involving the Adjutant, Lieutenant Albert.
“At a quarter past one, on reaching the 7th movement – Change Front to the Right – it was noticed by several persons that Lt Albert, on horseback, seemed anxious that the movement should be carried out correctly and that he shouted very earnestly to the men. A few minutes afterwards he was seen to totter, and a groom hastened to meet him, and held the bridle of his horse whilst he dismounted. It was then plainly indicated by the colour of his countenance that he had been attacked by a serious illness and medical assistance was sent for. The Colonel and the Surgeon galloped to the spot where Lt Albert lay on the ground. They found that nothing could be done, as life was extinct.”
