EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent full dress helmet worn by the 7th (Princess Royal's) Dragoon Guards during the mid-19th century. Crafted with exquisite detail, this helmet is a true testament to the grandeur and elegance of Victorian-era British army attire. The helmet belonged to Major William Charles Forrest, who valiantly wore it during the Charge of the Heavy Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava in 1854, amidst the tumultuous Crimean War. Majestic plumes adorn its top, adding an air of regality to its already ornate design. As one gazes upon this remarkable artifact, they are transported back in time to an era where bravery and honor were celebrated on battlefields far from home. The chin strap serves as a reminder of soldiers' unwavering dedication and commitment to their duty. This photograph captures not only a piece of military history but also tells a story about Maj William Charles Forrest's personal connection to his beloved helmet. It was passed down through generations as he assumed command over different regiments throughout his career. Displayed proudly at London's National Army Museum, this image allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind such intricate armor and its significance within historical events. It stands as a symbol of valor and sacrifice that resonates even today.
