EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the officers coatee worn by Lieutenant John Bramwell, dating back to approximately 1815. Created by the British School in the 19th century, this remarkable piece is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. During this era, British infantry donned vibrant red coats to ensure visibility amidst smoky battlefields. To aid identification, these coats featured distinctively colored lapels, cuffs, and collars. In Lieutenant Bramwell's case, his coatee proudly displays yellow accents representing his affiliation with the esteemed 92nd Regiment of Foot. Lieutenant John Bramwell wore this very coatee during his valiant participation in the Battle of Quatre Bras in 1815. It was during this fierce encounter that he tragically lost a leg while fighting alongside his comrades. This garment serves as a poignant reminder of both Lieutenant Bramwell's bravery and sacrifice on behalf of his regiment and country. The National Army Museum has carefully preserved this historical artifact for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon. Its significance lies not only in its visual appeal but also in its ability to transport us back to an era defined by courage and resilience. Through this evocative image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are granted a glimpse into Lieutenant John Bramwell's story—a testament to the unwavering dedication displayed by officers like him throughout history.
