EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Volunteering for the Mounted Infantry in Burma" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a significant moment in military history. The image captures a large squad of men, eagerly volunteering for service as mounted infantry soldiers. The scene depicts an officer addressing a group of potential candidates who have come forward to fill vacancies within the mounted infantry. With their horses standing nearby, these brave individuals are dressed in their marching order attire, ready to embark on this challenging journey. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement as each man hopes to be selected for this prestigious role. Their dedication and enthusiasm shine through as they relish the opportunity to serve their country. Intriguingly, this engraving also provides a glimpse into public exhibitions of equestrian skills that were popular during that era. Spectators can be seen observing from a gallery while others enjoy refreshments at the canteen nearby. As we delve into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that these volunteers not only displayed bravery but also showcased their riding abilities and horsemanship skills. This print serves as a testament to their commitment and determination in joining the esteemed ranks of the mounted infantry. Bridgeman Images has once again preserved an important piece of history through this remarkable artwork, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance within military culture.
