EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the colonial military presence in India during the early 20th century. The 10th Duke of Cambridge's Own Lancers, also known as Hodson's Horse, are seen standing at attention in this image, their horses rearing and snorting, ready for inspection. The Duke, dressed in full military regalia, gazes intently at his troops, a sign of the meticulous attention to detail and discipline that was expected of the British colonial forces. The 10th Duke of Cambridge's Own Lancers were a renowned cavalry regiment in the British Indian Army, with a rich history dating back to the mid-19th century. Horses were the backbone of the colonial military machine, and the Lancers were among the most skilled and elite cavalry units. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of these soldiers, who were stationed in India to maintain order and protect British interests. The image exudes a sense of power and authority, with the horses and soldiers poised and ready for action. The soldiers' uniforms are immaculate, reflecting the pride and professionalism of the regiment. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the complex and often contentious relationship between the British and the people of India during the colonial era. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a bygone era, offering insights into the military tactics, uniforms, and daily life of the colonial forces in India. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of the British Indian Army and the role it played in shaping the political and social landscape of India during the colonial period.
