EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the "Military ABC," a children's book published by Dean and Son in 1889, two brave soldiers, one from the Marine Light Infantry and the other from the Native Infantry, proudly stand at attention in their distinctive khaki uniforms. The Marine Light Infantry soldier wears a blue forage cap adorned with a golden eagle, a red stripe on his trousers, and a cartridge belt slung across his chest. His rifle is at the ready, a testament to his discipline and preparedness. The Native Infantry soldier, on the other hand, wears a khaki uniform with intricate beadwork and feathers adorning his headdress. His rifle rests on the ground beside him, and he gazes steadily into the distance, his expression one of determination and focus. This powerful image showcases the diversity of the military forces during the late 19th century, with both the Marine Light Infantry and Native Infantry represented. The use of khaki uniforms was a relatively new innovation at the time, reflecting the growing importance of camouflage in military strategy. The Marine Light Infantry, known for their amphibious capabilities, and the Native Infantry, made up of indigenous soldiers, were both crucial components of the British military during this era. The "Military ABC" was part of the prestigious Dean's Gold Medal Series, and the high-quality chromolithographs were produced by A.G. Buck and P.W. Reynolds. This evocative photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when these brave soldiers stood ready to defend their country and uphold the values of honor, courage, and duty.
