EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Pattern 1796 Light Cavalry Officers sword, a significant artifact from the Battle of Waterloo. Used by the esteemed 15th Hussars regiment, this steel weapon with a leather grip holds great historical value. The English School of the 19th century expertly captured its intricate design and craftsmanship. According to records from the Royal United Service Institute, this particular sword was carried by Colonel Henry Lane during the battle. Colonel Lane played a crucial role in assisting Sibourne in constructing the renowned Waterloo Model. Notably, there are letters inscribed on the blade reading "A. S. B" which likely indicate its maker. The image provides an up-close view of this remarkable piece of military history. Its blades gleam with metallic brilliance, reflecting both strength and elegance simultaneously. As a symbol of light cavalry warfare during the Napoleonic Wars, it represents not only power but also strategic finesse. The Pattern 1796 Light Cavalry Officers sword serves as a reminder of bravery and sacrifice exhibited by officers like Colonel Henry Lane and their regiments such as Kings Light Dragoons. This photograph is housed at London's National Army Museum where it continues to inspire visitors with its rich heritage.
