英语词汇sam browne belt的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Sam Browne belt. Born in India, Sir Samuel Browne, V.C. (1824–1901), served most of his military career there with the British army. Awarded the Victoria Cross and knighted for putting down the Indian Mutiny, a rebellion among native troops, he was promoted to general in 1888. Sometime during his long military career Browne invented the belt that bears his name. Designed originally as a sword belt that would sup- port the weight of a sword smartly without sagging from the hips, it consisted of a belt with two auxiliary straps crossing over each shoulder. Later modified to one strap crossing from the left hip over the right shoulder—swords were worn on the left side—the Sam Browne belt became compulsory dress for all British officers and was widely adopted by armies through- out the world. It was declared optional in 1939, but is still seen today, especially as part of drill, band, and cadet uniforms.
