About the Item

The pearlware jug with Napoleonic cartons to each side also has the names-William & Sarah Cooper and the date 1813 below under the spout. The jug has a yellow ground with a white ground around the neck with two silver lustre bands encircling the neck on the outside and on the interior. Below the inscription, in an oval white panel is a poem encircled by flowers and below a jug of beer titled Old Tobys Jug. The poem reads: Fill your cups and banish grief, Laugh and worldly care despise, Sorrow ne'er will bring relief, Joy from drinking will rife: So pour this full and sup it up, And call for more to fill your cup. To one side is a large printed panel titled "JOHN BULL and his COMPANION/ Challenging BONAPARTE and his relation". The scene depicts John Bull in a red jacket, a large seated lion behind with a ship in the background facing a European Officer in a blue jacket with a devil to the far left. Each have word bubbles issuing from their mouths. To the other side is another panel titled One of the 71st taking a French Officer prisoner in Portugal. The scene depicts a soldier in kilt with red jacket holding a long rifle to the chest of a French officer in blue jacket who holds out his hand offering his valuables which include a watch. Reference: 71st Highlanders After redesignation, the 71st Highlanders carried on fighting in India where they fought in the Battle of Pondicherry in 1793 and at Ceylon in 1795. In 1798 after a number of years on active service the effective troops left in the regiment were transferred to the 74th Regiment of Foot and the remainder returned to Scotland by 1802. A 2nd Battalion was formed in 1804. Over the next few years the regiment changed its name a number of times before becoming the 71st (Glasgow Highland Light Infantry) in 1809 and finally 71st (Highland) Regiment of Foot (Light Infantry). In order to become Light Infantry the regiment changed the way it trained, marched and fought.
