EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a shoulder belt plate from the Loyal Pettigo Infantry, dating back to approximately 1796. The shoulder belt plate was an exquisite adornment worn on a leather belt, suspended from the wearer's shoulder to provide support for a sword or bayonet. The intricate design of this particular plate features a beautifully engraved female harp, symbolizing harmony and music. Positioned above the harp is an elegant monarchial crown, representing authority and power. Together, these elements create a striking visual representation of loyalty and patriotism. As we delve into history through this image, we are transported back to the late 18th century when soldiers proudly wore such badges as they fought for their country. This artifact not only serves as a testament to the bravery and dedication of those who served in the Loyal Pettigo Infantry but also provides us with insight into their sense of identity and pride. Now preserved at the National Army Museum in London, this remarkable piece offers us an opportunity to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. It stands as a tangible reminder of our past and pays homage to all those who have selflessly defended their nation throughout time.
