EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the essence of military tradition and historical elegance with its depiction of a Drummer (Flute/Fife) Player from The Green Howards, also known as Alexandra, Princess of Wales's Own Yorkshire Regiment. The soldier, dressed in full regimental uniform, proudly wears the distinctive Nol cap adorned with a green feather plume. His expertly crafted outfit includes a red coat with gold buttons, white waistcoat, and blue breeches, all adorned with intricate gold lace and brass buttons. The Drummer (Flute/Fife) Player holds both a drum and a flute/fife, symbolizing his dual role in the regiment. The drum was used to signal orders and rally troops, while the flute/fife provided music to boost morale and coordinate movements. This versatile musician was an essential part of the military band, contributing to the regiment's unique identity. The portrait, painted by the renowned artist Malcolm Greensmith, beautifully captures the regal and disciplined atmosphere of the British military during the late 19th century. The Green Howards, a historic infantry regiment with roots dating back to the English Civil War, was part of the prestigious Prince of Wales's Division. This image serves as a testament to the rich history and proud traditions of The Green Howards and the British Army as a whole. The Nol cap, a distinctive part of the Green Howards' uniform, is named after the Duke of Nole, who donated the regiment's first cap badge in 1702. The green feather plume represents the regiment's connection to Wales, as it was later renamed the South Wales Borderers. This painting is an invaluable historical record of military life during the Victorian era and a tribute to the dedication and service of the soldiers who wore the Green Howards' uniform.
