EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back in time to the 19th century Oxford Blues, a distinguished military regiment of the British Army. The image showcases the regiment's uniform, which is depicted both from the front and in reverse, offering a unique perspective of its intricate design. The Oxford Blues, also known as the Oxfordshire Light Infantry, were first formed in 1881, with their distinctive blue uniforms becoming a symbol of their regimental pride. The uniform consisted of a dark blue jacket with red collars, cuffs, and lapels, along with a red sash, white trousers, and a black belt. This attire not only served a practical purpose in the field but also represented the regiment's rich history and tradition. In the foreground of the photograph, a soldier is proudly displayed on his horse, adding an additional layer of grandeur to the scene. The reverse side of the uniform is equally intriguing, revealing the meticulously designed details that were often hidden from view. The intricate stitching, buttons, and insignia are all on full display, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating these uniforms. The Oxford Blues played a significant role in various military campaigns throughout the 19th century, including the Second Anglo-Afghan War in 1878 and the Second Boer War in 1899. This photograph serves as a testament to their storied history and the dedication of the soldiers who wore these uniforms with pride. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of the Oxford Blues and the intricacies of their uniforms. This photograph is not only a valuable historical record but also a beautiful work of art that captures the essence of a bygone era.
