EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a side drum that was once used by the 42nd (Royal Highland) Regiment of Foot, dating back to around 1815. The British School from the 19th century beautifully captured this historical artifact, which is now housed in the National Army Museum in London. The significance of this side drum lies in its connection to the Napoleonic Wars, during which the 42nd regiment played a vital role. Serving in both Egypt and Spain, they distinguished themselves at notable battles such as Quatre Bras and Waterloo. In fact, only four regiments were mentioned in despatches for their exceptional service at both these engagements. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn not only to the intricate details of the drum but also to its symbolic elements. The battle honors displayed on it represent triumphs achieved by brave soldiers who faced adversity head-on. A mythical beast - a sphinx - adorns one side of the drum, perhaps symbolizing wisdom and strength amidst conflict. This print serves as a powerful reminder of history's echoes preserved within objects like this side drum. It invites us to reflect on those who served with valor and dedication during times of war while honoring their sacrifices for future generations to come.
