EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of determination and courage as Indian cavalry troopers prepare for a field exercise charging practice during World War I, in France, 1916. The year was a pivotal one in the conflict, with the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Jutland marking significant turning points. In this photograph, we see a group of Indian soldiers, mounted on horses, poised for action. Their lances held high, they are focused on their mission, their faces set with resolve. The horses, too, seem alert and ready, their ears pricked forward. The scene is one of intense concentration and anticipation, as the troopers hone their skills in the field, preparing for the real charge against the enemy lines. The Indian cavalry played a crucial role in the war effort, with over 13,000 Indian cavalrymen serving in various theaters. Their bravery and dedication were recognized with numerous awards and decorations. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these soldiers, who were far from home, fighting for a cause that was not their own. The image is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Indian cavalry and their unwavering commitment to duty.
