EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the General Officers Sabretache worn by Lt Gen Henry William Paget, 1st Earl of Uxbridge, during his time as colonel of the 7th (Queen's Own) Light Dragoons in approximately 1815. The sabretache is crafted from vibrant red Morocco leather and adorned with intricate gold embroidery, reflecting the exquisite craftsmanship of the era. Lt Gen Henry William Paget, later known as the 1st Marquess of Anglesey, played a pivotal role in commanding the British cavalry at Waterloo. It was during this historic battle that tragedy struck when a piece of shot shattered his right knee, narrowly missing none other than the Duke of Wellington himself. In an act of immense bravery and resilience, he was carried to a nearby house where his leg had to be amputated. The sabretache serves as a poignant reminder not only of Lt Gen Paget's distinguished military career but also his sacrifice and unwavering dedication to duty. Adorned with monograms and insignias representing his rank and affiliation with the British Army, including a prominent crown symbolizing royalty and authority. This remarkable artifact offers us an intimate glimpse into history - it tells tales of heroism on battlefields while showcasing meticulous artistry within its design. Preserved at London's National Army Museum, this treasured piece continues to inspire awe among visitors who appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty.
