EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning pelisse, worn by Lt. Col. John Tritton of the 10th (The Prince of Wales's Own) Royal Regt of Light Dragoons (Hussars) around 1849, is a fine example of military uniform from the mid-19th century. The pelisse, a type of coat worn by cavalry officers, is made of blue cloth with blue facings, reflecting the regiment's distinctive colors. The 10th Royal Hussars, also known as the "Prince of Wales's Own," were a prominent regiment in the British Army during this period, with a rich history dating back to 1715. Lt. Col. Tritton's pelisse showcases intricate gold braid and embroidery on the collar, cuffs, and lapels, indicating his high rank. The pelisse also features a row of brass buttons with the regimental crest, a crown surmounted by a hussar's sabre and a tiger, symbolizing the regiment's motto "Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt," which translates to "Where Duty and Glory Lead." The 1840s marked a significant time in the history of the 10th Hussars, as they participated in various campaigns, including the First Opium War in China and the Crimean War. Lt. Col. Tritton's pelisse represents the pride and tradition of the regiment during this era. This photograph, taken circa 1849, offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of military uniforms and the history they represent. The pelisse is a testament to the dedication and service of Lt. Col. John Tritton and the 10th (The Prince of Wales's Own) Royal Regt of Light Dragoons (Hussars) during the mid-19th century.
