EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Major General John Fielden Brocklehurst, later known as Lord Ranksborough, in his role as Master of the Cottesmore Hunt in the early 20th century. Born in 1852 in Leicestershire, Brocklehurst rose through the ranks of the British military to command the 2nd Cavalry Brigade of the Natal Field Force during the Boer War in 1902. His aristocratic background and military prowess made him a natural fit for the prestigious position of Master of the Cottesmore Hunt, one of the oldest and most distinguished hunts in England. Brocklehurst is depicted here in fine hunting attire, wearing a tall, peaked hat and a confident smile. He sits atop his horse, looking off into the distance with the air of a seasoned rider and experienced military leader. The photograph captures the essence of the English countryside and the tradition of hunting that was so deeply ingrained in the aristocratic way of life. Despite his military duties, Brocklehurst also had a distinguished political career, serving as a Liberal politician and equerry to King George V. His multifaceted accomplishments and prominent social status made him a prominent figure in British society during the early 20th century. This photograph is a testament to Brocklehurst's many accomplishments and his enduring legacy as a soldier, courtier, and Liberal politician. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era of aristocratic life and the traditions that shaped it.
