EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment a cavalry regiment crosses New Bridge into Victoria Place in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, South Wales, around the onset of the First World War. The soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms and riding horseback, make their way across the bridge, their horses' hooves clattering against the pavement as they pass over the road. In the background, the Lewiss Furnishing Warehouse stands tall, a testament to the bustling commercial activity of the town. New Bridge, built in the late 18th century, was an essential gateway into Haverfordwest, and the sight of a cavalry parade crossing its arches would have been a common one during times of military preparation or celebration. The town, located in the county of Dyfed, had a long history of military significance, having served as a garrison town during the English Civil War and later hosting a military barracks. As the shadow of war loomed over Europe in 1914, the streets of Haverfordwest would have been filled with a sense of anticipation and unease. The cavalry parade, with its horses' powerful strides and the clinking of their armor, would have been a stark reminder of the impending conflict and the role that the town and its people would play in the Great War. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the history of Haverfordwest and the people who lived there during a time of great upheaval and change. The image is not to be used for commercial purposes.
