Distinguished Drum Drums Foot Photolithograph Recruits Regiment Wanted
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intricately detailed colour photolithograph, dated 1903, showcases a recruitment call for The Royal Irish Regiment, also known as The 18th Royal Irish Regiment of Foot. The regiment, which traces its origins back to 1684, is distinguished in British military history for its long and proud tradition of service. The image features a regimental colour, or flag, bearing the regimental crest and the monogram of King Edward VII, who was the monarch of the United Kingdom at the time. The colour is being held aloft by a soldier, while another stands at attention, drum in hand, signaling the call to arms. The soldiers are dressed in their full regimental uniform, complete with bearskin hats and red coats, adding to the regal and ceremonial feel of the image. The text above the image reads "Recruits Wanted for the above distinguished regiment. The Royal Regiment of Foot of Ireland. The 18th Royal Irish." This call to action speaks to the ongoing need for new recruits to join the ranks of this esteemed regiment, ensuring its continued strength and readiness for duty. This photolithograph, which was produced in 1903 during the Edwardian era, offers a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of The Royal Irish Regiment, a regiment that continues to serve in the British Army to this day.
