Canteen Dragoon Dragoons Hussar Hussars Infantry Infantryman Scrambling Undress
EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour drawing, created by D G L in circa 1890, offers a humorous glimpse into the daily life of soldiers from different regiments during the late 19th century. The image showcases a hussar, an infantryman, and a dragoon, all in their undress uniforms, eagerly scrambling towards the entrance of a canteen. The hussar, identified by his distinctive tall busby hat and short jacket, is in a rush to secure a drink or a bite to eat. His animated expression and outstretched hand convey a sense of urgency and excitement. The infantryman, wearing a red coat and a shako hat, follows closely behind, his determined gaze fixed on the canteen's entrance. He clutches a bundle of papers under his arm, perhaps military documents or letters from home. The dragoon, the mounted soldier in the group, is shown dismounting from his horse, which is tethered nearby. He wears a helmet and a blue coat, and his rifle is slung over his shoulder. With a mischievous grin on his face, he seems to be enjoying the chaos that ensues as the three soldiers jostle for position. The canteen, a popular gathering place for soldiers, serves as the focal point of this lively scene. The soldiers' diverse uniforms and their shared enthusiasm for the canteen's offerings highlight the camaraderie and shared experiences that existed among different military units during this era. This charming watercolour drawing, with its caricatured style and sense of humour, offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives of soldiers during the late 19th century.
