raised by Sir Charles Henry Brownlow as the 8th Regiment of Punjab
Infantry in 1857, when then a lieutenant. In 1904 the regiment was
designated as the 20th Duke of Cambridge's Own Infantry and Sir Charles

Brownlow married Mary Ellen Lowes Dickinson, the granddaughter of the
Victorian portrait painter Lowes Cato Dickinson in 1926. Brownlow then
attended the Academie Julien in Paris in 1927 where he studied painting,
emerging as a sporting and equestrian painter. He showed 141 pieces at a
solo exhibition hosted by the Arlington Gallery in 1937 and exhibited
at the Royal Cambrian Academy in 1942. Several of Brownlow's works are
in the collections of the National Trust.
