EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) in full regalia during a parade in the early 20th century. Established in 1537, the Honourable Artillery Company is the oldest surviving regiment in the British Army and holds a unique place in military history. The image shows members of the HAC, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, standing proudly in formation. The company's rich history is reflected in the intricate details of their uniforms, which include bearskin hats, red jackets, and white trousers. The soldiers carry various types of artillery pieces, including field guns and howitzers, which were the primary weapons of the Honourable Artillery Company during this era. The photograph was likely taken during a training exercise or parade, as the soldiers appear to be in a disciplined and orderly formation. The setting, with its open fields and clear blue sky, adds to the sense of history and tradition that surrounds the Honourable Artillery Company. Despite its long and storied history, the Honourable Artillery Company remains an active regiment in the British Army, with over 1,200 members. The regiment continues to uphold its motto, "Ubique," which means "everywhere," reflecting its commitment to serving the country in various capacities, both at home and abroad. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Honourable Artillery Company and the important role it has played in British military history. It offers a glimpse into the past, while also reminding us of the continued relevance and importance of this storied regiment in the modern world.
