Badge Battalion Bearing Commemorative Drum Regiment Regimental Regiments Ware
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the essence of military tradition and history with its depiction of a regimental drum bearing the badge of the 6th Battalion Duke of Wellington's West Riding Regiment. The drum, made of commemorative ware, is adorned with the distinctive insignia of the regiment, which was formed in 1914 as part of the British Army's expansion during the First World War. The 6th Battalion, also known as the "Territorial" or "Second Line" battalion, was raised in Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire, and was part of the West Riding Brigade. The battalion saw action on the Western Front, taking part in several significant engagements including the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Arras. The regimental drum, a symbol of military pride and heritage, has been a vital part of the regimental tradition since the early days of the British Army. Drums were used to signal orders to the troops, to coordinate movements on the battlefield, and to boost morale. The drummer's role was a respected one, and the drum itself was often decorated with the regiment's badge and other symbols of its history. This print is a poignant reminder of the rich military history of the 6th Battalion Duke of Wellington's West Riding Regiment and the sacrifices made by its members during the First World War. The intricate details of the drum and its badge are beautifully rendered, making this a must-have for any military history enthusiast or collector. The print is also a testament to the enduring legacy of the regiment and its continued importance in the annals of military history.
