This work commemorates the Battle of the Glorious First of June, 1794. Lord Howe is second from the left in the group on 'Queen Charlotte's' quarter-deck, in admiral's full-dress uniform, 1787–1795, wearing a cocked hat. Though shown in uniform, during the battle he was reported as wearing an old civilian coat and knitted woollen cap. To the left, the Captain of the Fleet, Sir Roger Curtis, leans on a cannon. He wears the full-dress uniform of a commodore, 1787–1795. The main focus is the group around the dying Lieutenant Neville of the Queen's Regiment. Walter Lock, the naval lieutenant in the blue jacket, lifts Neville by the shoulders. To the left and centre of the group kneel Captain Tudor and Major Isaac of the Second Queen's Regiment and the Queen's Regiment.
