EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of departure for the 5th Royal Irish Lancers as they leave Mons in 1919, marking the end of their involvement in the First World War. The Lancers, part of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade and 2nd Cavalry Division, are seen here mounted on their horses, their faces a mix of determination and relief as they ride out of the town. This scene holds significant historical importance as the 5th Lancers were the first British troops to enter Mons in August 1914, only to be among the last to leave just a few months later. The fact that so few of the troopers who departed Mons in 1814 returned in 1918 adds to the poignancy of this image. Richard Caton Woodville, a renowned British painter, captured this topographical and military scene with exceptional detail and accuracy. Woodville's expertise in depicting cavalry charges and military life is evident in this work, which offers an insight into the experiences of the British soldiers during the First World War. The painting is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men of the 5th Royal Irish Lancers and the broader British military during the conflict. This image, created by Woodville in 1919, is a testament to the historical significance of the 5th Royal Irish Lancers' role in the First World War and serves as an important document of military history.
