EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Military Manoeuvres at Aldershot: A Sham Fight; "Squares against Cavalry"" from the July to December 1891 issue of "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," showcases an intriguing moment from a military exercise that took place in Aldershot, Hampshire, England, during the late 19th century. The image, which is believed to be an engraving, depicts a dramatic scene of infantry squares forming up against a charging cavalry regiment. The infantry soldiers, dressed in their red coats and bearing rifles, have assumed a defensive position, forming a square shape to protect themselves against the onslaught of the cavalry riders. The cavalry, with their horses rearing up and hooves pounding the ground, are poised to deliver a powerful charge, their sabres drawn and ready to strike. The scene is further enhanced by the addition of smoke rising from the gunfire, adding an element of realism and intensity to the image. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the military training methods of the Victorian era, with the infantry and cavalry forces engaging in a mock battle, reminiscent of the famous Battle of Waterloo. The photograph is a testament to the discipline, strategy, and teamwork required in the armed forces during this period, and remains an intriguing historical document.
