EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Infantry hanger sword marked to the 15th (Yorkshire East Riding) Regiment, dating back to around 1790. The exquisite craftsmanship of this metal weapon is a testament to the skill and artistry of the English School in the 18th century. The significance of this particular sword lies in its connection to the Yorkshire East Riding Regiment, a distinguished line regiment that played a crucial role in British military history. It is worth noting that infantry privates were issued with similar swords until 1768 when they were abolished for Other Ranks. What makes this example truly unique is its association with a line regiment, as most infantry swords from that era were later reissued and marked specifically for militia units. Preserved at the National Army Museum in London, this artifact offers us a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the bravery and dedication exhibited by soldiers who served their country during tumultuous times. The intricate details on this hanger sword reflect not only its functional purpose but also its symbolic value as an emblem of honor and duty. As we admire this remarkable piece through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us pay tribute to all those who have proudly served in our armed forces throughout history. Their sacrifices deserve our utmost respect and gratitude.
