EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history as The Welsh Guards are seen on manoeuvres near Pirbright, Surrey in September 1932. Led by Sir William Vivian Makins, the regiment is shown in action on Longdown Fort Hill, showcasing their military prowess and dedication to duty.
The image provides a glimpse into the training and preparation of the British Army during the 1930s, with soldiers from the 3rd Battalion of The Welsh Guards demonstrating their skills amidst the picturesque Chobham Ridges. The encampment set up by the regiment serves as a testament to their commitment to excellence and readiness for any challenge that may come their way.
As we look upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice of those who serve our country with honor and distinction. The determination etched on each soldier's face speaks volumes about their sense of duty and loyalty to Queen and country.
Through this remarkable photograph from The Major Harry Talbot Rice Collection, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history when these brave men stood ready to defend our nation against any threat. Their legacy lives on through images like these that capture the essence of what it means to be a member of The Welsh Guards - proud, strong, and always prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead.
