EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning belt ornament belonging to the 11th (The Prince of Waless Own) Regiment of Bengal Lancers, post 1876. Crafted from silver plate, this exquisite badge takes the form of the Prince of Wales's feathers, coronet, and motto "Ich Dien" elegantly inscribed on a scroll. The history behind this remarkable piece is equally fascinating. Originally raised in Lahore during the Indian Mutiny by Captain Frederick Wale in 1857, it was later commanded by Major Dighton Probyn and renamed as the 1st Regiment of Sikh Irregular Cavalry after Wale's death. Serving in China during the Second Opium War, it returned to India in 1861 as the re-designated 11th Bengal Cavalry before adding "Lancers" to its name in 1864. In an important development for the regiment's identity, it became known as the 11th (Prince of Waless Own) Regiment of Bengal Lancers in 1876. This change was reflected through incorporating the Prince of Wales's feathers into its insignia. After merging with the 12th Cavalry in1921, it transformed into the renowned unit called The King Edwards Own Probyns Horse. Even after surviving India's partition and becoming part of Pakistan Army as The Fifth Horse—a distinguished armored regiment—its legacy lives on. This exceptional belt ornament represents not only a symbol but also carries within it stories that span generations and continents—an emblematic tribute to valor and heritage.
