English Militia and Yeomanry Cavalry, 1854. Creator: Unknown
English Militia and Yeomanry Cavalry, 1854. British Army uniforms during the Crimean War. 4th Middlesex (officer); Yorkshire Hussars; Yeomanry Undress; Yeomanry Cavalry; 4th Middlesex; South Lincoln; Essex Rifles...The Illustration of the Militia Regiments...is perfectly correct as to costume; but the uniforms of the Yeomanry Cavalry there represented have not as yet been taken into general wear. The clothing of the first-mentioned force is supplied by the Ordnance, and, in texture, make, and sewing, is even inferior to that forced upon the line. Should the embodied regiments continue on permanent duty, the worthlessness of the dress, as regards durability and comfort, will be exemplified long before the period arrives which, by her Majesty's regulations, a fresh issue will be sanctioned'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, sourced from the esteemed archives of Heritage Images, showcases the English Militia and Yeomanry Cavalry during the Crimean War in 1854. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, features a diverse array of regiments, including the 4th Middlesex, Yorkshire Hussars, Essex Rifles, South Lincoln, and others. The Militia Regiments' uniforms are depicted accurately, but the Yeomanry Cavalry's attire, as shown in the print, had not yet been adopted for general use. The Militia's uniforms were supplied by the Ordnance, with texture, make, and sewing that were considered inferior. The soldiers are seen wearing heavy coats, casques, and carrying bayonets. In contrast, the Yeomanry Cavalry, dressed in undress uniforms, are shown wearing lighter, more comfortable clothing, which had not yet been sanctioned for widespread use. The image captures the essence of the era, with the cavalrymen mounted on their horses, their faces displaying a mix of determination and readiness. The horses, too, are depicted with intricate detail, their coats glossy and well-groomed. The print offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and military practices of the 19th century, providing a unique insight into the British Army during the Crimean War. The photograph print is a testament to the rich history of the British military, showcasing the uniforms, weapons, and daily life of the soldiers during this period. The print's historical significance and meticulous detail make it an invaluable addition to any collection, offering a captivating look into the past.
