EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a close-up of the Pattern 1882 infantry braces, dating back to circa 1882. This leather accessory was an integral part of an infantryman's load carrying equipment during that era. Crafted from white leather, these braces could be easily attached to a belt or valise (a canvas bag). In the late 19th century, the British Army introduced valise equipment as a means to distribute weight evenly around the torso and adapt to various conditions. The Pattern 1882 infantry braces played a crucial role in this load-carrying system. Displayed at the National Army Museum in London, this print showcases the intricate details and craftsmanship of these historic military artifacts. It offers viewers a glimpse into the past and highlights how soldiers were equipped for battle during that time. This particular photograph is part of Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder. It focuses on other ranks within the army, specifically infantry soldiers who relied on such accessories for their day-to-day operations.
