EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Bass Drummer of the Northumberland Fusiliers in his traditional ceremonial attire, dating back to the 1910s. The drummer proudly wears the distinctive uniform of the 5th Foot Regiment, which includes a bearskin hat adorned with a leopard skin pelt, a busby, and a leopard skin draped over his drum and beaters. The Northumberland Fusiliers, a historic infantry regiment of the British Army, have a rich and storied history that dates back to the late 1600s. The regiment's unique drummer's uniform, featuring the whole skin of a leopard, is a testament to the regiment's proud heritage and tradition. The leopard skin was believed to bring good luck and protection in battle. The drummer's formal dress uniform was worn on ceremonial occasions and parades, and the drum and beaters were essential instruments in leading the regiment into battle. The drum's deep, resonant beat served to rally the troops and keep them in step, while the beaters were used to signal commands. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the history and traditions of the Northumberland Fusiliers and the British military. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and influence us today.
