- ‘A plan of the Battle of the Arapiles near Salamanca with the previous movements of the Armies from the Douro to the Tornes’.
This map, dated 3 November 1812, depicts the locations and movements of Lieutenant-General Arthur Wellesley, Earl of Wellington’s Anglo-Spanish-Portugese Army and that of Marshal Auguste de Marmont’s French Army before and during the Battle of Salamanca on 22 July 1812.
The Allied victory that day shook French confidence to such a degree that they never regained the initiative during the remainder of the Peninsular War (1808-1814). It also established Wellington’s reputation as an offensive general.

A ‘sealed pattern’ is a prototype of any item that the British Army issued to soldiers. It provided clothing or equipment suppliers with an example to copy.
’Rough rider’ is a defunct rank used in the British Army and in some British colonial forces. It referred to those responsible for training horses and teaching horsemanship under the supervision of the riding master. Once abolished as a rank, it continued to be used as an appointment.

Large brass button made by J R Gaunt and Sons Limited, late Jennens and Company, London, with a Chinese dragon wearing an Imperial Crown.
The 1st Punjab Regiment was created as part of a reorganisation of the Indian Army in 1922.

The regiment was expanded during World War Two (1939-1945) and its battalions fought in various theatres including North Africa, Italy and the Far East. The regiment was transferred to the Pakistan Army in 1947, after the Partition of India.
