EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative World War One postcard captures the bravery and patriotism of the British cavalry during the chaotic and devastating battles of the Great War. The image, titled "Their's Not to Reason Why: For King and Country!" is a poignant reminder of the selflessness and courage displayed by these soldiers as they charged into the face of enemy fire. The scene is set on the battlefield, with the ground littered with debris and the smoky remnants of an explosion rising in the background. A cavalry charge is underway, with riders and their horses fully committed to the attack, their faces determined and resolute. The cavalrymen, dressed in their tattered uniforms, are seen clinging to their saddles as they advance, their flags flying high. Despite the imminent danger, there is no sign of fear or hesitation in their expressions. Instead, they are focused on their mission, their unwavering loyalty to their King and Country driving them forward. The caption, "Theirs not to reason why, / Theirs but to do and die," encapsulates the sentiment of the charge, emphasizing the importance of duty and sacrifice in the face of adversity. The use of the phrase "For King and Country!" was a common rallying cry during the war, and this postcard serves as a powerful reminder of the immense bravery and patriotism displayed by the British soldiers during this period. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of those who fought and died in the service of their country, and continues to inspire a sense of pride and respect for the sacrifices made during the First World War.
