EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a brass cap badge from the 3rd Battalion of the 70th Burma Rifles, dating back to the years 1917-1922. Created by the Anglo-Indian School in the 20th century, this exquisite piece is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. The badge itself features a striking depiction of a stag's head positioned above a scroll that proudly displays the unit's title. It serves as a symbol of honor and distinction for those who served in this esteemed battalion during World War One. During this tumultuous period, four battalions were raised within the ranks of the 70th Burma Rifles. The first two were established in September 1917 and played significant roles with both serving overseas - one with the Egyptian Expeditionary Force and another stationed in the Middle East. The third and fourth battalions followed suit shortly after, forming in April and June of 1918 respectively. Intriguingly, these four battalions eventually merged to become part of what would be known as the illustrious 20th Burma Rifles by 1922. This remarkable artifact hails from Field Marshal Sir John Chapple Indian Army Collection, adding an extra layer of historical significance to its already rich narrative. With its timeless appeal and intricate craftsmanship on full display, it stands as a testament to bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who wore it proudly on their uniforms all those years ago.
