EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to August 1966, where an officer of the Life Guards regiment, belonging to the esteemed Household Cavalry of the British Army, shares a unique moment with his loyal companion - a magnificent horse named Puritan. As they make their way back from camp to their London barracks, this unlikely duo takes a detour and finds themselves at a brewery in Chiswick. The officer's love for his faithful steed is evident as he gently feeds Puritan a refreshing pint of beer. It is an endearing sight that showcases not only the strong bond between man and animal but also highlights the extraordinary camaraderie within military regiments. This snapshot captures an era when soldiers found solace in simple pleasures amidst their rigorous duties. The image resonates with nostalgia for those who remember the swinging sixties and serves as a reminder of how even in times of war or training exercises, moments of respite were cherished. The Daily Mirror has expertly preserved this remarkable photograph which encapsulates both history and humanity. It reminds us that soldiers too seek moments of relaxation and joy while serving their country. This timeless portrayal celebrates not just one soldier's affectionate gesture towards his trusted mount but also pays tribute to all those who have served in the armed forces throughout history.
