He was aboard Lord Dudley’s yacht at Nice in 1901 when he was first commanded to attend to King Edward. He was appointed Royal barber on the spot. He daily trimmed King Edward’s board, which was Jaschke’s proud esf achievement. He accompanied King George on his Empire voyage in the Ophir, and also on his Indian tour in 1912.
