From the bustling city of Hiroshima to the vast Atbara Camp, these captivating engravings and photographs offer a glimpse into an era long gone. In one engraving, Japanese soldiers can be seen meticulously detraining cavalry horses at Hiroshima. The scene is filled with precision and dedication as each soldier ensures that their noble companions are safely unloaded from the train. Moving on to Atbara Camp, a lithograph showcases the careful detraining of mules by the 32nd Field Battery Royal Artillery. The camp comes alive with activity as soldiers work together to unload these hardworking creatures who will play a vital role in military operations.

This image transports us to a world where entertainment was brought directly to towns across nations. The Transvaal Crisis takes center stage in two black-and-white photos capturing different aspects of detraining. One shows horses confined within quarantine stables after being unloaded while another reveals Colonel Baden-Powell's force receiving freshly arrived horses for service – both images reflecting the urgency and intensity of wartime preparations.
