EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic artifact from the British School in the 19th century. The image features a metal button, known as the Button, Calcutta Volunteer Rifles, pre-1901. The button is beautifully crafted with intricate details that reflect its significance. In the center, we see the initials "CVR" representing the esteemed Calcutta Volunteer Rifles Corps. Surrounding it is an elegant wreath design, symbolizing honor and victory. Crowned above is a majestic crown, signifying authority and royal connection. The Calcutta Volunteer Rifles Corps was established in 1863 as an auxiliary infantry unit in India. Over time, it underwent transformations and reconstitutions to become what is now known as the 5th Calcutta Battalion by 1917. This remarkable piece of history belongs to Field Marshal Sir John Chapple Indian Army Collection at the National Army Museum in London. It serves as a testament to the rich heritage of both Britain and India during this era. Through this photograph's lens, we are transported back in time to witness not only exquisite craftsmanship but also gain insights into colonial military organizations that played significant roles within society.
