Stirrup Charge by the 2nd Dragoons (Royal Scots Greys) and Black Watch at St Quentin, 30 August 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and historically significant print by Countess Feodora Gleichen, one of the leading women sculptors of her day. This powerful image immortalizes a pivotal moment during the early days of World War I, as the 2nd Dragoons (Royal Scots Greys) and Black Watch executed a stirrup charge at St Quentin in France on August 30, 1914. Countess Gleichen, born in 1861, was a British sculptor who had the unique distinction of living and working in St. James Palace from 1903 to 1915. Her brother, Major-General Lord Albert Edward Wilfred Gleichen, served in the war, commanding the 15th Brigade from 1911 to 1915, and later the 37th Division from 1915 to 1916. He also served as the Director of the Intelligence Bureau at the Department of Information from 1917 to 1918. The print showcases the raw energy and intensity of the cavalry charge, with riders and horses in mid-gallop, their stirrups lifted high, ready to strike. The movement and speed of the animals are beautifully captured, conveying the sense of power and determination of the soldiers in the heat of battle. This visual representation of the Stirrup Charge at St Quentin is an important historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the wartime experiences of the Allied forces during the early days of World War I. The print serves as a testament to the courage and skill of the cavalry units, as well as the artistic talent of Countess Gleichen, who expertly captured the essence of the moment in her sculpture.
