EDITORS COMMENTS
This vivid and captivating image, published by the Illustrated London News in December 1916, offers a glimpse into the past as it showcases the Dragoon Guards of the Queen's Bays during an exercise in Europe. Dressed in their distinctive khaki uniforms, the cavalrymen are seen mounted on their horses, ready for action against the picturesque European landscape. The Dragoon Guards, also known as the "Queen's Own," were an elite infantry regiment of the British Army, renowned for their courage and discipline. Their adoption of the khaki uniform in 1902 marked a significant shift in military fashion, as it provided better camouflage in various terrains, making the soldiers less visible to the enemy. The Illustrated London News, a leading weekly newspaper of the time, published this colour image to provide its readers with an authentic and visually engaging representation of the British military forces. The photograph offers a unique insight into the appearance of the khaki uniforms against a European landscape, a sight that would have been unfamiliar to many at the time. As the Dragoon Guards of the Queen's Bays engage in their exercise, their horses prance and gallop, their riders poised and focused. The image captures the essence of military precision and discipline, offering a glimpse into the history of the British Army during a pivotal moment in its evolution. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection of military history or European history, providing a visual record of an important moment in the annals of the British military and its transformation during the early 20th century.
