Meanwhile, at Camp McKibbin in Marshall Hall, a dress parade takes place under Maryland's sunny skies in 1893. Co. A. 3rd Batl. , united and proud, showcases their military prowess during this memorable event. In another scene from 1893 captured by William Cruikshank's lens, soldiers take a halt on their journey to board a boat while maintaining impeccable discipline and orderliness. Sunday morning inspection becomes an important ritual for these dedicated soldiers as they prepare themselves for duty under Cruikshank's watchful eye. Traveling back further into history, we witness a mesmerizing dress parade of the Seventeenth New York regiment in 1861; their uniforms immaculate and spirits high despite uncertain times ahead. Gustave Le Gray captures light-infantry soldiers at Camp de Chalons in 1857; their stoic expressions contrasting against nature's beauty surrounding them. Finally, Tim O'Sullivan immortalizes the disciplined formation of the 50th Pennsylvania Infantry during a parade around 1870/82 - each soldier standing tall with unwavering pride etched upon his face. From Italy to America and across different eras, parades have always been moments where communities come together to celebrate traditions or showcase military might – reminding us that unity lies at the heart of every procession.
