North Staffs Bugler character jug designed by Zoe (Valerie) Annand and produced by Royal Doulton of Burslem, England, in a 2005 limited edition of 250 as that year's Royal Doulton International Collectors Club issue. The Prince of Wales' North Staffordshire Regiment was originally known as the Old Sixty-fourth North Staffordshire Regiment. It was formed as the second battalion of the Eleventh Foot in 1756, becoming the Sixty-fourth Foot in 1758. This regiment boasts many honors through its proud history including seeing action in the Seven Years War, the French Revolutionary War, Napoleonic Wars, Boer War, Afghan War, and the First and Second World Wars. Five Victoria Crosses have been awarded to members of the regiment, four of which were during the First World War. The bugler is a key member of the regiment, providing communications in camp, sounding revelry and taps, and, on the battlefield, declaring the commander's orders for advance or retreat.. A bugle and tassel form the handle of the jug.
