2nd King Edwards Horse, men of the rank & file on drill gro
Men of the rank and file in the 2nd King Edwards Horse marching on the drill ground at White City where the regiment was quartered in 1914 before going to the front. The Tatler comments that, as the above picture shows, the backbone of this corps consists of some really magnificent men, who will do great service when, as is shortly expected, they go to the front. One suspects that the tallest and handsomest were perhaps placed at the front for the benefit of press photographers! The regiment was raised by Major Norton Griffith. Date: 1914

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the men of the 2nd King Edward's Horse in the midst of their drill training at White City in London, just before they were deployed to the Western Front in 1914. The regiment, raised by Major Norton Griffith, was renowned for its robust and strong-willed soldiers, as attested by The Tatler's commentary that "the backbone of this corps consists of some really magnificent men, who will do great service when, as is shortly expected, they go to the front." The image showcases a group of these impressive soldiers, focused and disciplined as they march in formation on the drill ground. Their determined expressions and impeccable posture reflect their dedication and readiness for the challenges that awaited them on the battlefield. The tallest and handsomest of the men, perhaps, were strategically placed at the front for the benefit of the press photographers. The 2nd King Edward's Horse was one of the many regiments that answered the call to arms during World War I. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the manhood and courage that defined the soldiers of this era, as they prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The regiment's rich history is preserved in this poignant image, which stands as a testament to the bravery and resilience of those who served in the Great War.
