This is Bhalu, the 11th Hussars bear mascot! Bhalu was introduced to the regiment in 1914, believed to be a male Siberian brown bear. 🐻 But he, was a she! Only discovered after she was moved to the Clifton Zoological Gardens following the outbreak of WW1.

Today we're highlighting the 1820s political cartoons of the 10th Hussars. 🎨 Whilst stationed in Ireland they grew a reputation for arrogance and snobbery, something that would soon become a staple of London's caricatures and political illustrations!
