EDITORS COMMENTS
This embroidered badge showcases the proud heritage of the West Yorkshire Regiment during the turbulent times of World War I. The intricately designed insignia, adorned with the regimental crest and the motto "Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt," translating to "Where Duty and Glory Lead," is a testament to the courage and dedication of the soldiers who served under its banner. The badge bears the name and regimental number of Private E. Layzell, who served in the 1/2 Battalion of the West Yorkshire Regiment. The label attached to the bottom of the badge reads "Pte. E. Layzell, 1/2 Battalion. BRC Hosp. Netley," indicating that this valiant soldier was once a patient at the British Red Cross Hospital in Netley, England. The West Yorkshire Regiment, also known as the Prince of Wales's Own (West Riding Regiment), was a renowned infantry regiment of the British Army that saw action in various battles throughout World War I. This commemorative art piece serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by Private Layzell and countless others during the Great War. The intricate embroidery on the badge, with its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the artisans who created it. This historical artifact not only preserves the rich military history of the West Yorkshire Regiment but also pays tribute to the individual stories of the brave men who wore its emblem with pride.
