EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the prestigious Waterloo Medal from 1815, crafted in exquisite silver and adorned with a delicate silk ribbon. Created by an anonymous English artist during the 19th century, this remarkable piece is currently housed at the National Army Museum in London. The medal was bestowed upon A/Commandant Thomas Benton of the Field Train Department for his exceptional bravery and service during the Battle of Waterloo. The obverse side of this distinguished award can be seen in another accompanying image (1268512). Rich with symbolism, this medallion features an angelic figure alongside a depiction of Arthur Wellesley, famously known as the Duke of Wellington. It serves as a powerful reminder of victory achieved against Napoleon Bonaparte's forces during the Napoleonic Wars. The intricate design includes ribbons that gracefully cascade around these iconic figures, further enhancing their significance. Such decorations hold immense historical value and represent not only individual achievements but also commemorate significant moments in military history. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring photograph, we are transported back to a time when courage and valor were celebrated through tangible symbols like medals. This particular Waterloo Medal stands as a testament to Thomas Benton's unwavering dedication to duty and his contribution to securing triumph on that fateful day.
