EDITORS COMMENTS

"Cavalry: A Legacy of Courage and Glory" From the gallant Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava in 1854 to the resolute Scotland for Ever charge of the Scots Greys at Waterloo in 1815, it has etched its mark on history. The vivid colors of lithographs depicting these iconic moments transport us back to a time when bravery knew no bounds. In our minds, we can almost hear the thundering hooves and feel the ground shake as Highlanders charged fearlessly into battle at Waterloo. The Battle of Balaclava, forever immortalized by Gibb's artwork, reminds us that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, valor prevails. The Scots Greys emerge as true heroes throughout history - their unwavering determination evident in both Agincourt's archer-guarded battlefield and their legendary charge against Napoleon's forces. Their legacy lives on through Elizabeth Southerden Thompson's captivating oil painting "Scotland Forever. " which captures their spirit with every brushstroke. But cavalry is not just about epic battles; it encompasses camaraderie too. In heartwarming scenes like "Sharing Rations - The Troopers Christmas-Box, " we witness soldiers' bonds forged through shared hardships during times of celebration or conflict alike. As time marches forward, so does progress. The Royal Logistic Corps exemplifies this evolution – adapting to modern warfare while upholding traditions rooted deep within military history. From Gulf War tanks manned by brave troopers from the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards to today’s cutting-edge logistics operations, they ensure our armed forces remain formidable. Cavalry embodies more than mere horse-mounted warriors charging valiantly into battle; it represents courage personified. It symbolizes sacrifice and honor woven together with threads that connect generations past with those yet to come. Let us never forget these storied chapters where men rode forth bravely under banners held high – forever etching their names in the annals of history.
