The Auckward Squad

EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing etching by Isaac Cruickshank, published by W. Fores on February 19, 1793. This print offers a humorous take on military life during the Wars of the French Revolution (1793-1802). The title "The Auckward Squad" is a playful nod to the awkwardness and clumsiness of the soldiers depicted. Isaac Cruickshank, a renowned English satirical printmaker, skillfully captured the essence of military drill with a touch of humor. The soldiers in the print are shown in various stages of disarray, with some tripping over their own feet, others struggling to keep their weapons in place, and yet others looking completely bewildered. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a dog, adding to the chaos and amusement. The print is associated with the Line Infantry, reflecting the importance of drill and discipline in the military during this period. Despite the apparent disorder, the soldiers are shown wearing their uniforms with pride, highlighting their dedication to their duty. The "The Auckward Squad" is a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during the Wars of the French Revolution. Cruickshank's etching not only showcases the challenges of military drill but also the camaraderie and sense of humor that existed among the troops. This print is a testament to the human side of history and is a must-see for anyone interested in military history or the social history of the late 18th century.
