EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative watercolor painting, titled "Canteen with Men of the 7th Dragoon Guards, 3rd Hussars, Scots Greys, and 10th Hussars," was created by T.P. Chapman in 1886. The scene depicts a moment of respite during military life, as soldiers from various regiments gather around a canteen, sharing a meal and engaging in conversation. The 7th Dragoon Guards, also known as the "Prince of Wales's Own Regiment," are represented by the men in red coats with black facings and bearskins. The 3rd Hussars, or "The Blue and Royals," are distinguished by their blue uniforms and white facings, while the Scots Greys, or the 2nd Dragoons, are identified by their gray coats and black facings. The 10th Hussars, or "The Lancashire Hussars," are depicted in dark blue uniforms with red facings. The painting is a reminder of the camaraderie and shared experiences that existed among soldiers from different regiments during the late 19th century. The men in the painting appear to be relaxed and at ease, despite the military setting. The canteen, a simple yet essential piece of equipment, serves as a symbol of the practicality and necessity of communal gatherings during military life. The painting was created in 1886, a time when the British Army was undergoing significant changes, including the adoption of new uniforms and equipment. The soldiers in the painting are likely from the period before these changes, adding to the historical significance of the scene. This watercolor painting is a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of soldiers during a time of peace, before the challenges and hardships of active military service.
