No. 4 Detachment, 3rd Middlesex Artillery Volunteers: Winners of the Queen's Prize at Shoeburyness Artillery Meeting, 1885 This impressive photograph captures the No. 4 Detachment of the 3rd Middlesex Artillery Volunteers, proudly displaying their hard-earned victory after winning the esteemed Queen's Prize at the artillery meeting held at Shoeburyness in 1885. Formed in Truro, Cornwall, in 1861, this volunteer unit, affectionately known as 'Truro's Tigers,' was an integral part of the local community and the wider Victorian military landscape. The 3rd Middlesex Artillery Volunteers were an essential component of the Volunteer Force, which emerged in response to the perceived threat of invasion during the late 19th century. The volunteers underwent rigorous training to ensure they were prepared to defend their communities and the nation if required. In this photograph, the members of the No. 4 Detachment, dressed in their full military regalia, proudly display their artillery piece, which contributed significantly to their success at the Shoeburyness meeting. The unit's determination, skill, and dedication to their training were rewarded with the prestigious Queen's Prize, adding to their reputation as a formidable and accomplished military force. The 1880s were a time of great change and innovation in the military world, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these volunteers, who played a vital role in the defense of their community and country during the Victorian era.
