EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Coatee dress worn by the 73rd Regiment of Foot in approximately 1815. Created by the British School in the 19th century, this historical artifact is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. The distinctive uniform of the 73rd Regiment features a vibrant red coat adorned with light yellow facings on its cuffs, collar, and lapels. These color accents were not merely decorative but served an important purpose on the battlefield. Amidst the chaos and smoke of war, commanders could easily identify their regiments based on these unique facings. In addition to its striking appearance, this particular regiment's coatee holds significant historical value due to its involvement in key battles during that era. The 73rd fought valiantly at both Quatre Bras and Waterloo, where it demonstrated remarkable resilience against no less than eleven French cavalry charges. As we admire this exquisite piece from our past, let us remember and honor those brave soldiers who wore it proudly into battle. Their unwavering courage and steadfastness serve as a testament to their dedication to duty and country. This print allows us to glimpse into history while paying tribute to those who sacrificed so much for our freedom.
