The scene is set on Pitchcott Hill, near the picturesque town of Aylesbury, where military attaches from various countries gathered to observe and learn from their British counterparts. The manoeuvres were an essential part of military diplomacy and served as an opportunity for international military cooperation and exchange of tactics.
