EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 18th century print, titled 'The Border Regiment, Uniforms and Colours,' showcases the distinctive uniforms and regimental colours of the British Army's Border Regiment. The image features a private from the Border Regiment in the year 1756, wearing a red coat with blue facings and a Monmouth cap adorned with a feather. A drummer from the same regiment, dressed in a similar uniform but with a drum slung over his shoulder and a drumstick in his hand, is depicted in the foreground. In the background, a grenadier from the Border Regiment, dating from 1767, stands tall and proud with his musket at the ready. The regiment's colours, including the Union Jack and the regimental crown and tassels, are prominently displayed. The Border Regiment, also known as the 'Princess of Wales's Own Regiment of Foot,' had a rich history and several notable nicknames and traditions. The regiment was formed in 1689 and saw action in numerous campaigns throughout Europe and the Americas. The men of the Border Regiment were known for their fierce fighting spirit and their distinctive tartan kilts, which were worn until the late 18th century. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a detailed and accurate record of the uniforms and colours of the Border Regiment during the 18th century. The intricate details of the soldiers' uniforms, from the buttons and tassels to the muskets and drums, are beautifully rendered, making this a must-have for any military history or uniform enthusiast.
