EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Cap badge of the Pakistan Armoured Corps. Crafted in white metal, this 19th-century masterpiece depicts an armoured fist on crossed lances, adorned with a scroll bearing the inscription "A Pakistan". The establishment of the Pakistan Armoured Corps on August 14,1947, marked a significant milestone as Pakistan gained independence from India. Inheriting one third of the personnel and assets from the British Indian Armoured Corps, this unit holds great historical importance. Their motto "Death Before Disgrace" resonates with their unwavering commitment to honor and bravery. From Field Marshal Sir John Chapple's Indian Army Collection at the National Army Museum in London, this print serves as a testament to both artistic craftsmanship and military heritage. The intricate details captured within this image offer viewers a glimpse into the rich traditions and values that have shaped Pakistan's armed forces. As we admire this extraordinary cap badge, let us reflect upon its symbolism - an armored fist representing strength and protection while crossed lances symbolize unity and readiness for battle. This photograph not only preserves history but also invites contemplation about sacrifice, courage, and national pride. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this iconic artwork through Fine Art Finder.
