EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the men of the Royal Horse Artillery (RHA) on parade during the First World War. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, complete with belted greatcoats and peaked caps, the gunners proudly pose alongside their horses and gun carriages. The horses, too, are adorned with military accoutrements, their flanks bedecked with ammunition pouches and cartridge boxes. The Royal Horse Artillery, an elite corps of the British Army, was renowned for its mobility and versatility. Its gunners were trained to ride their horses and their guns into battle, providing essential fire support to the infantry. The gun carriages, drawn by teams of powerful horses, were designed to be maneuverable in all terrains, enabling the RHA to keep pace with the advancing troops. This image, taken between 1914 and 1918, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the RHA during the Great War. The soldiers' focused expressions and the meticulously aligned ranks of horses and gun carriages convey a sense of discipline and order amidst the chaos of war. The men's proud bearing and the horses' alert ears underscore their readiness for action, making this photograph a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the soldiers who served in the Royal Horse Artillery during this pivotal period in history.
