EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the idyllic countryside of West Sussex in August 1936. The image captures a remarkable moment as a group of Life Guards ride up Duncton Hill, their sleek horses trotting gracefully along the rural landscape. As they make their way up the hill, an observant farmer stands by, his eyes fixed on the impressive sight before him. The Life Guards' impeccable suits and uniforms add a touch of elegance to this otherwise rustic scene. Their presence evokes memories of war and cavalry troops, reminding us of a time when these brave men served their country with honor and distinction. Lined up in perfect formation, these soldiers showcase their exceptional riding skills while passing by fields adorned with lush greenery. A telegraph pole stands tall in the background, serving as a reminder that even amidst nature's beauty, technology still plays its part. This photograph is not just about the riders; it also highlights the connection between man and horse. The bond between rider and steed is evident as each horse moves synchronously with its rider's commands. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history captured by George Garland's lens, we can't help but feel grateful for those who have dedicated themselves to protecting our nation. It serves as a timeless reminder of bravery and camaraderie that transcends generations - an enduring tribute to those who have served in times past.
