Testimonial to the officers of the 78th Highlanders, 1862. Creator: Unknown
Testimonial to the officers of the 78th Highlanders, 1862. Mr. Turner, of New Bond-street, has just manufactured two pieces of plate, subscribed for by the inhabitants of Ross and Cromarty, for presentation to the officers and non-commissioned officers of the 78th Highlanders, on its return from a lengthened sojourn in India, during which it performed most gallant services...The testimonial...is a group of figures, in silver, representing an episode of the Indian mutiny, spiritedly arranged, consisting of a mounted officer (Lieut.-Colonel M'Intyre) and private soldier engaged in combat with two natives over a dismounted cannon, in bronze. The group stands on a triangular plinth with truncated comers, each containing a group of trophies, flags, &c...surmounted by a stag's head in silver, which is one of the regimental badges. On the front...is a bas relief, in silver, representing the relief of Lucknow, in which action the 78th Highlanders, as will be remembered, took a prominent part. The other sides are occupied bv silver plates...on one of which is engraved the inscription, and on the other the elegant badge of the regiment, surrounded by a scroll containing the names of the principal actions in which the regiment has been engaged'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
