EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze medal, commemorating the historic Battle of Waterloo in 1815, is a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of British soldiers. Crafted by the English School in the 19th century, this exquisite piece now resides at the National Army Museum in London. The medal forms part of a collection that honors battles fought during the Napoleonic Wars and the 3rd Mahratta War. Struck under James Mudie's direction in 1820, it symbolizes British victories over their French adversaries. The focal point of this artwork is Field Marshal Henry William Paget, known as Lord Paget or Marquess of Anglesey. Lord Paget was an esteemed British army officer who suffered a grievous injury during the Battle of Waterloo – he lost his leg due to cannon fire. This poignant depiction captures his profile with remarkable detail, showcasing his distinctive mutton chop sideburns and mustache. As we gaze upon this medallion, we are transported back to that fateful day when thousands fought for freedom on Belgian soil. It serves as a powerful reminder not only of Lord Paget's courage but also of all those who valiantly served their country. With its intricate design and historical significance, this commemorative medal stands as a timeless tribute to those who sacrificed everything for victory at Waterloo.
