EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the 4th Cavalry Brigade is seen in the early morning light at their training camp on Salisbury Plain, as viewed from the aeroplane of Mr. Barrington Kenneth. The year is circa 1911, and the soldiers are busy with their daily routines, oblivious to the unexpected aerial visit. The camp, known as Hamilton Camp, was a temporary encampment used by the British Army for training purposes. The scene is one of order and discipline, with rows of tents neatly arranged and soldiers attending to their horses and equipment. The transport wagons and other military vehicles are also visible, adding to the sense of a well-organized military operation. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, are seen moving about with purpose, some mounting their horses, while others are engaged in various tasks. Mr. Barrington Kenneth, a wealthy businessman and aviation enthusiast, had paid the camp a surprise visit in his aeroplane. The photograph captures the moment of the camp's daily reveille, with the soldiers coming to attention as the bugle call echoes across the plain. The image offers a unique perspective of the camp, providing a bird's-eye view of the soldiers and their daily routines, which would have been a novelty at the time. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a British Cavalry Brigade during the early 20th century. The image is also a testament to the advances in technology at the time, with the use of an aeroplane to capture the scene from above. Overall, this photograph is a valuable historical record of a bygone era, providing insight into the military training and organization of the British Army during the early 1900s.
