EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the monthly Quadrille dance of the Sergent's Mess of the 9th Royal Lancers, an esteemed military regiment of the British Army, in the year 1888. The image portrays a lively and spirited scene as the sergeants, dressed in their distinctive uniforms adorned with brass buttons and gold braid, engage in the traditional dance. The setting is the cozy and rustic interior of the Sergeants Mess, where the warm glow of the fireplace illuminates the room and creates an inviting atmosphere. The Quadrille dance was a popular social activity among military units during the late 19th century, providing an opportunity for soldiers to unwind and build camaraderie outside of the rigors of military life. The dance, which involved pairs of dancers moving in a set pattern, required agility, coordination, and precision, making it an excellent way to maintain physical fitness and sharpen military skills. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the 9th Royal Lancers, providing insight into the social and recreational activities that helped to foster a strong sense of community and morale within the regiment. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions of the British military, which continue to be celebrated and honored to this day.
