EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a rare and historic piece of military memorabilia - the Bearskin badge from the 101st Regiment of Foot (Royal Bengal Fusiliers), dating back to the late 19th century. Crafted with exquisite detail, this metalwork masterpiece is on display at the National Army Museum in London. The badge features a flaming grenade as its centerpiece, symbolizing power and strength. Resting upon it is a frosted circlet bearing the proud inscription "ROYAL BENGAL FUSILIERS" in burnished letters. Within this circlet, gleaming frosted numerals proudly declare "101" representing the regiment's honorable designation. Every element of this badge tells a story of valor and dedication. The gilding metal shines brightly, reflecting both light and history. Its reverse side reveals two brass loop fittings that once secured it to an officer's uniform or bearskin hat. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact, we are transported back in time to an era when soldiers donned these badges with pride, identifying themselves as part of one of Britain's most esteemed infantry regiments. The flames depicted on the grenade evoke images of battles fought bravely by these valiant men. This print captures not only an exquisite piece of militaria but also serves as a reminder of those who served their country with unwavering loyalty. It stands as a testament to their sacrifice and commitment, forever preserved within this timeless work of art.
