The image showcases a scene from the renowned School for Cavalry located in Aldershott (now known as Aldershot), Hampshire. The print depicts a meticulously organized drill session, with soldiers on horseback executing precise maneuvers in what appears to be Rushmere Bottom or Long Valley. The cavalry troops are engaged in both skeleton and rope drills, honing their skills under the watchful eyes of their instructors. The horses stand tall and majestic, embodying strength and power as they carry their riders through each exercise flawlessly. This visual representation offers a glimpse into the rigorous training that these auxiliary forces underwent during this era. Aldershott's School for Cavalry played a crucial role in preparing military personnel for combat scenarios by instilling discipline, coordination, and strategic thinking.

Through this artwork, we gain insight into the dedication and commitment required by those who served in the armed forces during this time period.
