EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Full Dress Jacket worn by Lieutenant William Polhill, a distinguished member of the 16th (or Queen's) Light Dragoons during the historic Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The jacket, expertly crafted with blue fabric adorned with scarlet facings and intricate gold embroidery, is a testament to the elegance and grandeur of British military attire during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured by an English School artist from the 19th century, we are transported back in time to witness Lt. Polhill's bravery and valor on the battlefield. This jacket symbolizes not only his rank but also represents the unwavering spirit and dedication exhibited by all members of the armed forces. The attention to detail in this uniform is truly awe-inspiring; every stitch tells a story of honor and sacrifice. It serves as a reminder that clothing can be more than just fabric; it can embody tradition, pride, and camaraderie among soldiers. Displayed at London's National Army Museum, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind military uniforms and their historical significance. It stands as a tribute not only to Lt. Polhill but also to all those who fought alongside him in defense of their country during one of history's most pivotal moments – the Battle of Waterloo.
