EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Boy Soldiers under Training at Aldershot, the Public Schools Battalion in Camp" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Henry Marriott Paget and reproduced from a private collection, this print offers a glimpse into the military training of young boys during the late 19th century. The image showcases a group of boy soldiers undergoing rigorous training exercises under the watchful eye of their sergeant major. With an air of determination and discipline, these young recruits engage in activities such as tug-of-war and answer questions posed by their officer. The scene is set against the backdrop of Aldershot camp, with its impressive stone church and monument adding to its architectural beauty. Despite being besieged by rain showers, these aspiring soldiers remain focused on honing their skills. This depiction highlights not only their professional commitment but also sheds light on how public schools played a role in preparing young men for military service. Paget's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life, capturing both the physical challenges faced by these boy soldiers and the atmospheric conditions they trained in. This print serves as a testament to both artistry and historical documentation while offering viewers an opportunity to reflect upon past practices within military education.
