EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide depicts a striking image from the British Army's Royal Horse Artillery during the early 20th century, likely around the time of the First World War. The Royal Horse Artillery, an elite and historic component of the British military, is represented here by a group of soldiers and horses, poised and ready for action. The soldiers are dressed in their distinctive uniforms, with their shakos adorned with the Royal Horse Artillery crest, and their greatcoats and equipment slung over their shoulders. Horses stand beside them, harnessed and hitched to the artillery pieces, their ears pricked and alert. In the background, a tented camp can be seen, indicating the soldiers' temporary living quarters. The photograph captures the essence of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, a time when the British Army relied heavily on horses and artillery to maintain its military dominance. The image is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the soldiers who served in the Royal Horse Artillery, and the vital role they played in the history of the British military. The lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a valuable record of military history and a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served in the armed forces during this period. The intricacies of the image, from the details of the soldiers' uniforms to the textures of the horses' coats, make this a captivating and evocative piece of historical documentation.
