A remarkable and rare, late 19th century military tailor’s pattern book / sketch book, once the property of a Sergeant Master Tailor Henry Meacham of the 2nd Norfolk Regiment.Dated April 1895, and with each page having been meticulously hand illustrated with patterns and measurements for a variety of British Army military attire, medal ribbons from Victorian military campaigns, grooms and coachman’s frock coats, infantry full dress sword and belt, and many other items of civilian clothing.Many of the pages are also filled with other illustrations (many also hand coloured), such as a Victorian lady on bicycle, dogs, horses, birds, fish, regimental flags, and even a picture of one of the tools of his trade, a pair of tailor’s scissors.The information written to the inside cover seems to confirm that the clothing patterns submitted throughout the book were ‘examined and found correct by I.Hawkesford Inspector, and J.W.Pritchard(?) Superintending Foreman.It’s clear that Sgt Meacham was not only a brilliant draughtsman, but a wonderful illustrator as well.A coloured illustration in the book relating to the Pimlico Cutting Academy For Soldiers, might suggest that he served thereThis is better known as the Royal Army Clothing Depot on Grosvenor Road, Pimlico.Period records from his very long army career, and civilian life confirm that he was a tailor, both before and after his military service (detailed below).Notes: Henry William Meacham, born April 7th 1860, in Beccles, Suffolk.Enlisted at Great Yarmouth in the Norfolk Regiment on July 18th 1883 aged 23 years and 3 months, and using the service number 564.His civilian occupation was noted as being a Tailor.According to his attestation papers, he’d already served five and half months in the 4th Norfolk Regiment.His service record states that he served at home from July 1883, though until December 1901, and this included service in Ireland, where he was stationed at Cork.By March 1897, Henry had transferred to the Kings Royal Rifle Corps, and then went on to serve in South Africa during the Boer War from December 1901 through until June 1904, earning himself the Queens South Africa Medal with the clasps for Orange Free State and South Africa 1902.Additionally, he also earned himself the Long Service & Good Conduct Medal.His rank at this time was noted at Sergeant Master Tailor.Henry was discharged from service on October 2nd 1905, but at the outbreak of WW1 in 1914, he again re engaged for the duration of the war.It’s believed that Henry served with the Queens Royal West Surrey Regiment during WW1, and was discharged from service just before the cessation of hostilities in November 1918, by which time he was in his late 50’s.He was discharged from service under paragraph 392 Kings Regulations, meaning he was no longer physically fit for military service.As testament to this, he was entitled to the Silver War Badge (badge number B67082), and this was awarded in 1920.Sgt Meacham was apparently not entitled to any WW1 service medals, with the SWB being his only award from this era.Henry passed away in Norfolk in 1938.Approximately 38.5cm x 27.5cm.Condition: generally good.Some normal age and service related wear, included a little wear to the corners of the pages.The painted colours to the pages are still wonderfully vibrant and bright, with very little soling to any of the pages.
