EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Coatee worn by other ranks in the 1st Regiment of Life Guards, dating back to approximately 1814. Created by an anonymous British artist from the 19th century, this fabric artifact is currently housed at the National Army Museum in London. The vibrant red color and intricate design of this Coatee represent the pattern introduced during the years 1812-1813. It was famously worn by soldiers during the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The 1st and 2nd Life Guards, both part of Lord Somerset's Household Brigade, played a significant role in this historic campaign. They bravely charged against Marshal D'Erlon's infantry corps alongside other British Heavy Cavalry units before enduring a fierce attack from French lancers and cuirassiers. This image captures not only a piece of military history but also symbolizes the valor and sacrifice exhibited by these brave soldiers on that fateful day. The Coatee serves as a tangible reminder of their unwavering dedication to duty and their willingness to face overwhelming odds for their country. Displayed with pride at the National Army Museum, this photograph allows viewers to appreciate both the artistry behind such uniforms as well as their historical significance.
