EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense moment of a cavalry charge by the 9th Hodsons Horse on the Western Front in 1915. The image, taken by Mullick Photo House in the early 20th century, showcases the bravery and determination of these Indian cavalry divisions during World War One. The 1st and 2nd Indian Cavalry Divisions were deployed to France in November 1914 and remained on the Western Front until March 1918. However, their role was not limited to traditional cavalry duties. In some instances, these sowars served alongside infantry troops in the trenches, highlighting their versatility and adaptability. This particular photo is part of an album that documents various aspects of life for both the 4th Hodsons Horse and 9th Hodsons Horse during World War One and India between 1920-1938. It offers a glimpse into their experiences as they fought against formidable opponents on multiple fronts. The image serves as a testament to the courage displayed by these soldiers who charged fearlessly into battle on horseback. It also highlights important military tactics employed during this era, such as lancer formations used by cavalry units. Preserved at London's National Army Museum, this photograph reminds us of the sacrifices made by armed forces throughout history. Its historical significance is further emphasized by its inclusion within Fine Art Finder's collection curated by Bridgeman Images.
