EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of relaxation for Teddy, the beloved mascot of the 2nd Battalion Kings Rifles, as he savors a refreshing draught of ginger-beer at Shorncliffe in 1910. The Kings Rifles regiment, a distinguished part of the British military, had recently returned from India, and Teddy, an unusual yet cherished addition to their ranks, had been given a new home in England at a cost of seventeen pounds. The image shows Teddy, a large and regal-looking bear, seated on a wooden stool, his paws resting on a small table. A stein mug filled with golden, bubbly ginger-beer is placed in front of him, its frothy head enticing him to take a sip. The bear's expression is one of pure delight, his eyes closed in enjoyment, as he leans forward to take a draught. The wooden surroundings, with their worn and weathered appearance, speak of the age and history of the regiment, while the vibrant colors of Teddy's fur and the golden hue of the ginger-beer add a touch of whimsy and charm to the scene. The image is a testament to the unique bond between the soldiers and their mascot, a bond that transcended the ceremonial role of the mascot and became a source of comfort, companionship, and morale-boosting during their time at Shorncliffe. Teddy, with his newfound freedom, wasted no time in making himself at home, removing the door and a good deal of the woodwork in true bear fashion. Despite the chaos he caused, the soldiers couldn't help but laugh and appreciate the quirks of their beloved mascot. This photograph serves as a reminder of the unusual yet endearing traditions of the military, and the special role that animals, like Teddy, played in the lives of the soldiers during the early 1910s.
