EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the camaraderie and daily life of the 8th Battery, 13th Brigade, Royal Field Artillery (RFA), during their training camp at Bangalore, India, in 1912. The image features a farrier sergeant and four shoeing smiths, all dressed in their military uniforms, gathered around a traveling forge. The horses, essential companions of the artillery units, are tethered nearby, patiently waiting their turn to receive fresh shoes. The British Empire's military presence in India during this period was significant, with numerous regiments stationed across the subcontinent. The 8th Battery, part of the 13th Brigade, was one such unit that underwent rigorous training to ensure their readiness for potential deployment. The traveling forge was an essential component of their camp, enabling the soldiers to maintain the health and well-being of their horses. The photograph, taken in the early 1910s, offers a glimpse into the prewar era of the British Army. The soldiers, with their stern expressions and focused demeanor, convey a sense of discipline and determination. The horses, too, seem attuned to the seriousness of the situation, their ears pricked and eyes alert. The scene is a testament to the intricate relationship between the soldiers and their horses, which was crucial to the success of the artillery units in the field. The 8th Battery's time at the RFA camp in Bangalore was a pivotal moment in their training, preparing them for the challenges they might face in the years to come. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the soldiers and their horses during this period of imperial history.
