EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a lead seal from the 1st Regiment of Madras Light Cavalry, dating back to around 1816. The seal is raised in reverse and features a wooden handle, adding to its historical charm. Originally established as the 5th Regiment of Native Cavalry in 1787, it was later renamed the 1st Regiment of Madras Native Cavalry in 1788. In an interesting turn of events, due to the seniority of Major J C Tonyn, the regiment underwent another redesignation in 1816 and became known as the 1st Regiment of Madras Light Cavalry. This very seal would have been utilized by the regiment until it transformed into the 1st Madras Lancers in 1886. The significance of this particular lead seal lies not only in its age but also in its discovery. It was found within the Quarter Masters Store belonging to its successor regiment, namely the esteemed 26th King George's Own Light Cavalry, during World War I. Preserved at London's National Army Museum, this artifact offers us a glimpse into history and serves as a testament to communication methods employed by cavalry troops during that era. Its intricate details and rich heritage make it an invaluable piece for military enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
