EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Presentation of New Standard by HRH The Duke of Gloucester KG and Final Mounted Parade March, 1938," is a stunning representation of an historic military event that took place in Colchester, England. The image, a colour photolithograph of a painting by G A Cattley, transports us back in time to an era of military tradition and pageantry. At the heart of the scene, we see His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester, KG, proudly presenting a new standard to members of the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards. The Duke, dressed in full regalia, is surrounded by mounted soldiers in their distinctive uniforms, their faces expressing a sense of pride and respect. Behind the mounted regiment, dismounted soldiers in khaki uniforms stand at attention, adding to the impressive display of military might. The event depicted in this photograph is likely the final mounted parade of the regiment before the outbreak of World War II. The presentation of a new standard was a significant moment in the regiment's history, symbolizing the continuity and tradition of the military unit. The image captures the sense of camaraderie and unity among the soldiers, as well as their dedication to their regiment and their monarch. The painting-turned-photograph is a testament to the rich military history of Colchester and the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the importance of military traditions and the sacrifices made by those who served in the armed forces.
