EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history as the Lancers of Hodsons Horse negotiate a ditch in 1938. Taken by Mullick Photo House, this image showcases the bravery and skill of these cavalry soldiers during their training exercise near Loralai in Baluchistan, India. The lancers, belonging to the 4th Duke of Cambridges Own Hodsons Horse, are seen mounted on their horses with lances at hand. Although primarily used for ceremonial purposes, this unit underwent mechanization just a year after this photo was taken. It is fascinating to witness them in action before they transitioned into more modern forms of warfare. This image is part of an album containing 31 photographs associated with both the 4th Hodsons Horse and 9th Hodsons Horse during World War One (1914-1918) and India between 1920 and 1938. Preserved by the National Army Museum in London, it offers us a glimpse into military life during that era. The composition beautifully captures the determination and unity among these troops as they navigate through challenging terrain. The monochromatic tones add depth to the scene while emphasizing their discipline and dedication. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who serve our armed forces throughout history. This photograph serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment to duty and highlights an important chapter in military evolution.
