EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration transports us back in time to the Royal Military Tournament held at the Agricultural Hall in Islington, London, in June 1897. The tournament, a grand spectacle of military history and culture, showcases a series of intriguing scenes from different eras and corners of the British Empire. Clockwise from the top, we begin with the mesmerizing Dyak War Dance, a traditional performance by the native warriors of Borneo. The Dyaks, known for their distinctive headgear and spears, were renowned for their fierce fighting skills. Next, we encounter the Zaptiens of the Cyprus Military Police, proudly displaying their unique uniforms and weapons. The British ruled Cyprus from 1878 to 1960, and the Cyprus Military Police played a crucial role in maintaining law and order during this period. The British Army's rich history is represented by a grand display of soldiers from various regiments, ranging from the early 18th century to the mid-19th century. The soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, showcase the evolution of military tactics and technology over the centuries. Lastly, we witness a display by the New South Wales Mounted Rifles, a light cavalry regiment from Australia. The regiment, formed in 1885, was known for its exceptional horsemanship and marksmanship. The Mounted Rifles served in various campaigns, including the Second Boer War and the First World War. This illustration, with its vivid depiction of these historical scenes, offers a fascinating glimpse into the military history of the late 19th century. The Royal Military Tournament at the Agricultural Hall in Islington was a testament to the British Empire's global reach and the diverse cultural heritage it encompassed.
