EDITORS COMMENTS
"This exquisitely embroidered badge pays tribute to the Royal Artillery, a distinguished regiment of the British Army that served with great valor during World War I. The intricate design features the regimental crest of the Royal Artillery, complete with the regimental motto "Ubique," meaning "everywhere." The badge also bears the inscription "Hut 31, Netley, 1917." Hut 31 was a topographical and medical unit of the Royal Artillery, established during the war to produce maps and charts for military use. Located at Netley Hospital in Hampshire, England, the unit was staffed by both military personnel and civilians, including skilled artists and cartographers. The embroidery on this badge suggests that it may have been created as a commemorative piece for a member of Hut 31. The use of embroidery as a medium for creating military badges was a common practice during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The intricate stitching and attention to detail required for such work made it an ideal way to showcase the craftsmanship and dedication of the regiment. This badge, with its beautiful embroidery and historical significance, is a testament to the rich military history of the Royal Artillery during World War I." This piece of commemorative art is a reminder of the important role the Royal Artillery played during the First World War, particularly in the production of topographical and medical intelligence. The intricate embroidery on this badge is a testament to the skill and dedication of the artisans who created it, and serves as a lasting tribute to the regiment's legacy. Whether displayed in a museum, a military collection, or a private home, this badge is sure to captivate and inspire all who see it.
