The Royal Military Academy, a prestigious institution steeped in history and tradition, holds a prominent place in the late 19th-early 20th-century era. The Inner Court of the academy, shrouded in mystery as its creator remains unknown, stands as a testament to architectural brilliance. In 1890, the academy hosted a Children's New Year's Party at Woolwich. The event was filled with laughter and joy as young ones reveled in the festivities organized by the esteemed institution. A significant moment unfolded when the Prince of Wales unveiled Count Gleichens Statue of the Prince Imperial within the grounds of this illustrious establishment. This engraving captures that historic occasion forever etched into memory. However, not all moments were celebratory. A devastating fire engulfed the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, leaving behind an indelible mark on its history. Through this engraving, we glimpse into that fateful day when flames ravaged these hallowed halls. Despite such trials and tribulations faced over time, resilience prevailed as depicted in another engraving showcasing the enduring spirit of this revered institution -the Royal Military Academy standing tall amidst adversity. Sportsmanship thrived within these walls too; athletic games became an integral part of life at this renowned academy. Whether it be running races or engaging in friendly competition like Three-Legged Races captured through engravings or photographs – camaraderie and healthy rivalry united cadets during their training years. One cannot help but marvel at King Alfred's presence at Athelney Somerset alongside his followers around 1880 -a watercolor painting on paper depicting historical figures associated with military prowess gracing these very grounds where future leaders were nurtured. Woolwich remained synonymous with excellence throughout generations; black-and-white photographs immortalize its grandeur while providing us glimpses into daily life within those distinguished walls. As time passed by, traditions endured and evolved; athletic games continued to be a highlight at the Royal Military Academy.
