Badge Battalion Beaten Copper Middlesex Regiment Regiments Schools Tray Trench
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copper tray, adorned with the beaten badge of the Middlesex Regiment's 16th Service/Public Schools Battalion, is a poignant reminder of the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who served during the First World War. Trench art, created by soldiers in their downtime, is a unique and personal reflection of their experiences on the battlefield. This particular piece, with its intricately detailed badge, showcases the pride and loyalty of the Middlesex Regiment's members. The Middlesex Regiment, also known as the "Duke of Cambridge's Own," was one of the oldest infantry regiments in the British Army, with a rich history dating back to the late 17th century. The 16th Service/Public Schools Battalion was formed in 1914 to allow officers and men from public schools to serve together. These soldiers, many of whom were young and privileged, joined the war effort alongside their comrades from all walks of life. The beaten badge on this copper tray depicts the regimental crest, which includes a crowned griffin holding a sword and shield, symbolizing strength, courage, and protection. The motto "Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt," which translates to "Where Duty and Glory Lead," encircles the badge, emphasizing the soldiers' commitment to their duty and their pursuit of honor. This beautiful and historic piece of trench art is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Middlesex Regiment and the many soldiers who served in the 16th Service/Public Schools Battalion during World War I. Its intricate details and personal touch make it a valuable addition to any military history collection.
