EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the smartly dressed members of the Oxfordshire Light Infantry (43rd Foot) in 1889. The regiment, also known as the Oxfords, was a part of the British Army's infantry corps with a rich history dating back to 1755. The soldiers are seen here in their full dress uniforms, complete with shakos, red coats, and white belts adorned with brass fittings. The regimental badge, featuring a crowned ox's head, is prominently displayed on their collars and cuffs. The image offers a glimpse into the military life of the late 19th century in Britain. The soldiers stand in formation, their disciplined posture and focused expressions conveying their readiness for duty. The photograph was likely taken on parade grounds, with the lush, green landscape in the background adding to the serene atmosphere. The Oxfordshire Light Infantry (43rd Foot) saw action in various conflicts, including the Peninsular War, the Crimean War, and the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The regiment's motto, "Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt," meaning "Where Duty and Glory Lead," reflects their unwavering commitment to their country and their duty to serve. This photograph is a testament to the pride and discipline of the soldiers of the Oxfordshire Light Infantry (43rd Foot) during their time in 1889. It offers a unique perspective into the military history of Britain during the late 19th century.
