EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Officers Trial Pattern helmet of the 87th (Royal Irish Fusiliers) Regiment, dating back to around 1854. Created by the talented Irish School in the 19th century, this remarkable piece is currently housed at the National Army Museum in London. Crafted from enamelled felt, this unique helmet features a shape that was recommended for both infantry and cavalry use during that time period. The cavalry version boasted a leather material with a distinctive Maltese cross-shaped plate. Additionally, it was suggested that a detachable metal plate be included as a back neck protector. However, despite these innovative suggestions, neither version of this helmet design was ultimately adopted by either branch of service. The intricate details and historical significance captured within this image truly transport viewers to an era long gone. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of military designers throughout history. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in preserving fine art prints like this one, we are able to appreciate and study such exquisite pieces from our past. This particular print is now available for public viewing through eNational Army Museum's collection.
