EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Yeoman Cavalry Competition for the Loyd Lindsay Cup, held at Wimbledon Common in 1886. The image showcases the squads of Yeomanry Cavalry engaged in an intricate maneuver during the national shooting association meeting. The riders, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, expertly ride four abreast, with two dismounting to fire their rifles while their comrades hold their horses. This impressive display of horsemanship and marksmanship was a testament to the skill and discipline of these volunteers, who were an integral part of the British military during the 1880s. The Loyd Lindsay Cup, a prestigious trophy, was highly coveted among the Yeomanry Cavalry, making this competition a significant event in the military calendar. The setting, Wimbledon Common, adds to the charm of the photograph, with its lush greenery and clear blue sky providing a picturesque backdrop. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique insight into the training and competition of the Yeomanry Cavalry during the late 19th century.
