EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases two Troopers of Queensland Mounted Police, Australia, dressed in their full dress uniform and khaki bush uniforms, dating back to the late 1890s and early 1900s. The Troopers of Queensland Mounted Police were an integral part of the Queensland Police Force, responsible for maintaining law and order in the vast and diverse landscapes of Queensland, Australia. On the left, the Trooper wears the full dress uniform, which includes a tall, smart helmet adorned with a distinctive badge, a red tunic with gold braid and buttons, white gloves, and a sword belt. The attention to detail is evident in the polished boots, shiny helmet, and the meticulously arranged uniform. This formal attire was worn for parades, ceremonial occasions, and official functions. On the right, the Trooper is seen in the khaki bush uniform, which was more practical for patrolling the rugged bushlands and rural areas. The uniform consists of a khaki shirt, trousers, a wide-brimmed hat, a rifle slung over the shoulder, and a belt with a holster for a revolver. This uniform allowed the Troopers to blend in with their surroundings and effectively carry out their duties in the challenging Australian terrain. The Troopers of Queensland Mounted Police played a crucial role in the history of Queensland law enforcement, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into their past. Their dedication, professionalism, and courage continue to be celebrated and admired, making this an essential piece of Australian history.
