1827 Rifle Officers' Pattern Wilkinson Sword 33877 Proved 3rd March 1896 for Henry Edward Green 2nd Scottish Rifles

The sword ordered in 1896 is a plain oval rifles sword with the standard blade etchings of this pattern sword save for the owners intials of G[reen H[enry]E[dward]in the cartouched panel. The sword was sharpened for active service which was undoubtably useful as Lieutenant Green was wounded in saving his great friend Lieutenant Arthur Wood at the Battle Spion Kop for which action he received the DSO in 1900.
