EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a waistbelt clasp belonging to the 100th (or Prince of Wales's Royal Canadian) Regiment of Foot, dating back to approximately 1858. The British School from the 19th century skillfully captured this exquisite piece, which is now housed in the National Army Museum in London. The waistbelt clasp holds significant historical value as it represents the formation and evolution of this esteemed regiment. Established in Canada in 1858, the regiment proudly adopted the iconic Prince of Wales feather badge and motto "Ich Dien" meaning "I Serve". This emblem symbolized their loyalty and dedication to serving their country. In an interesting turn of events, in 1881 while stationed in India, the regiment merged with the 109th Foot to create The Prince of Wales's Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians). This merger marked a new chapter for these brave soldiers who continued to serve under their beloved prince's name. The intricate design on this waistbelt clasp features foliage, wreaths, and a crown – symbols that denote honor and authority. Its craftsmanship speaks volumes about its historical significance and serves as a testament to the bravery and commitment displayed by those who wore it. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts through Fine Art Finder, we can admire this remarkable artifact that encapsulates not only military history but also cultural heritage.
