EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Officers Trial Pattern helmet, belonging to the 87th (Royal Irish Fusiliers) Regiment of c. 1854. Crafted by the skilled hands of the Irish School in the 19th century, this helmet is a testament to both artistry and functionality. Made from enamelled felt, this unique headgear was designed for use by both infantry and cavalry units. The infantry version featured a detachable metal plate back neck protector, while the cavalry variant boasted a leather construction with a striking Maltese cross-shaped plate. Despite its innovative design and practical features, neither version was ultimately adopted for official use. Displayed proudly at London's National Army Museum, this artifact offers us a glimpse into military history and the evolution of protective gear during that era. Its intricate details speak volumes about the dedication and craftsmanship put into its creation. As we admire this print captured by Bridgeman Images through Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how even seemingly small objects can hold great significance in preserving our past. This image serves as an invitation to delve deeper into stories untold within museum walls – tales of soldiers who once wore these helmets with pride and bravery on their noble quest to protect their homeland.
