1. Title: Pay List of St Eustache Volunteers, 1838 Date: 1838 Description: This historic print showcases the Pay List of the St Eustache Volunteers from the year 1838. The St Eustache Volunteers were a part of the Volunteer Movement in England, which emerged in response to the perceived threat of invasion from France during the early 19th century. These citizen militias were formed to supplement the regular military forces and provide an additional defense line in case of an attack. The pay list, meticulously inscribed by hand, includes the names, ranks, and compensation details of 59 enlisted men. The document offers a glimpse into the lives of these volunteers, providing valuable information about their occupations, residences, and military duties. The names range from common ones like John Smith and William Jones to more unique ones like Ambrose Pritchard and Silas Watts. The intricate calligraphy and organized layout of the pay list reflect the attention to detail and administrative efficiency that were essential for maintaining the discipline and effectiveness of the volunteer forces. The document also serves as a reminder of the community spirit and patriotism that motivated ordinary citizens to join the volunteer ranks and contribute to their country's defense. The Pay List of the St Eustache Volunteers, 1838, is an invaluable historical resource that offers insights into the social, military, and economic aspects of the Volunteer Movement during this period. Its preservation in the National Archives and its availability through Mary Evans Prints Online ensures that this important piece of history remains accessible to researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of 19th-century British history.
