Black helmet with white metal mountings and cream plumes.
Inscribed, Bucks Yeomanry strike home.
The regiment was raised in 1794. In April the following year the regiment was on duty at Aylesbury and Newport Pagnall markets to deter grain rioters. They dispersed mobs trying to stop grain wagons at Stony Stratford and Fenny Stratford in March 1796 and stood by to prevent further food riots at Leckhampstead in May and Barnham in October 1800. The regiment was instrumental in suppressing an anti-militia disturbance at Wing in the same year. In spite of such aid to the civil power duties exercise and inspection dates were altered or postponed to take account of the harvest. Exercises in 1813 and 1814 were specially arranged to avoid clashing with Epsom races and Wycombe market.); © National Army Museum

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Officers Tarleton pattern helmet, belonging to the Buckinghamshire Yeomanry Cavalry around 1800. Crafted from sleek black leather and adorned with elegant white metal mountings, this helmet exudes a sense of regal authority. The cream plumes add a touch of grandeur, further enhancing its striking appearance. Emblazoned on the helmet is the inscription "Bucks Yeomanry strike home" reflecting the regiment's unwavering dedication to their duty. Raised in 1794, this esteemed cavalry unit played a crucial role in maintaining law and order during times of unrest. Throughout history, they were called upon to disperse mobs attempting to halt grain wagons or incite food riots. Notably, they quelled an anti-militia disturbance at Wing in 1800. Despite their commitment to public service, exercises and inspections were often rescheduled or postponed to accommodate important events such as Epsom races and Wycombe market. Preserved by the National Army Museum in London, this remarkable artifact serves as a testament to the bravery and resilience of those who served in the Buckinghamshire Yeomanry Cavalry. It stands as a reminder of their vital contributions towards upholding peace within society. Through this evocative image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness both the elegance and strength embodied by these gallant officers wearing such distinctive headgear.
