EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intensity and bravery of the Charge of the 9th Lancers at a German battery near Mons during the early days of the First World War. The date was August 22, 1914, and the location was in Belgium, not far from the town of Mons. The 9th Lancers, a British cavalry regiment, were part of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade under the command of Major-General Charles Ferguson-Davie. The scene depicted in this photograph is a pivotal moment in the Battle of Mons, one of the first major engagements of the war. The German artillery battery, positioned in a wooded area, had been causing significant damage to the advancing British forces. In an attempt to silence the battery and gain a tactical advantage, the 9th Lancers were ordered to charge. The photograph shows the lancers, clad in their distinctive red coats and helmets, charging towards the German battery with swords drawn and lances at the ready. The smoke from the artillery fire fills the air, creating a hazy, chaotic scene. The horses, sensing the imminent danger, are rearing up and snorting, their eyes wide with fear and determination. Despite the heavy German fire, the 9th Lancers pressed on, their courage and determination unwavering. The charge was ultimately unsuccessful, with many casualties sustained on both sides. However, the bravery of the 9th Lancers became a symbol of the tenacity and fighting spirit of the British Army during the early days of the First World War. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the 9th Lancers and the other British forces during the Battle of Mons. It is a testament to the raw emotion and intensity of war, and the indomitable spirit of those who fought in it.
