Scene at the Volunteer Review in Hyde Park, 1860. Creator: Unknown
Scene at the Volunteer Review in Hyde Park, [London], 1860. Crowds watching military manoeuvres....before reaching this centre of the line, where the Queen was stationed, each battalion opened out to wheeling distance, or, in other words, to open-distance column, and thus they inarched past her Majesty, at a distance of twenty-five paces from each other, the three bands of the Household Brigade playing alternately during the marching past. After each battalion had passed a short distance from the Queen the order to form once more quarter-distance column was given, when the rear companies took up the double step and closed up to the leading company. They then marched on to the flag...and wheeled to the left as before, thus entering on the third side of the square, after completing which...they wheeled once more to the left and entered upon the original alignment, when, having reached the point from which each started, they were halted and fronted in their original position. The only other movement was an advance of the whole line simultaneously'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

Scene at the Volunteer Review in Hyde Park, London, 1860: A Glimpse into Britain's Military Past This evocative photograph captures a moment from the Volunteer Review held in Hyde Park, London, in 1860. The scene is one of military precision and grandeur, as thousands of volunteers, eager to display their loyalty and dedication to their country, gather to participate in the annual military parade. The Queen, who is not visible in the photograph, is the focal point of the event. As each battalion approaches her position, they open out to 'wheeling distance' or 'open-distance column,' allowing the Queen to observe them from a respectful distance of twenty-five paces. The Household Brigade's three bands play alternately during the marching past, adding to the festive atmosphere. Once each battalion has passed the Queen, they reform into 'quarter-distance column,' with the rear companies closing up to the leading company. They then advance to the flag, wheel to the left, and enter the third side of the square. This process is repeated, with the battalions wheeling left once more and returning to their original alignment. The only other movement is an advance of the entire line simultaneously. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into Britain's military past, providing a window into the meticulous drills and procedures that were an essential part of the Volunteer Force. The Volunteer Review was an important event in the social calendar, bringing together the military, the monarchy, and the public in a display of unity and patriotism. The scene captured in this photograph is a testament to the pride and dedication of the volunteers and the impressive organization of the British military during this period.
