EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Short-tailed coatee worn by Cornets Brown, who served in the esteemed Wiltshire Yeomanry around 1799. The coatee, made of exquisite fabric, is a testament to the rich history and tradition of British military attire during the late 18th century. The Wiltshire Yeomanry was established in 1794 as a defensive force against potential invasion during the French Revolutionary War. By 1796, it comprised various troops stationed across different towns and cities in Wiltshire. From Devizes to Marlborough, these brave men stood ready to protect their homeland from external threats. Not only did they defend Britain's borders, but they also played an essential role in maintaining internal peace. During times of unrest such as the rejection of the 1830 Reform Act, this regiment swiftly restored order amidst rioting in Bristol. Their dedication and service were duly recognized when they were awarded with the prestigious title "Royal" the following year. This remarkable print not only captures a piece of historical fashion but also serves as a reminder of the bravery and commitment displayed by members of the Wiltshire Yeomanry throughout their existence. It stands as a tribute to their unwavering loyalty towards safeguarding their nation and preserving its values for future generations to cherish.
