EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the 44th Squadron of the British Cavalry engaged in training exercises at an Egyptian remount depot during World War I. The image was taken near the coast, with the sun casting long shadows over the sandy terrain. In the foreground, horsemen can be seen riding their horses and mules down the steep sides of a disused quarry, their determined expressions and focused gaze suggesting the intensity of their training regimen. The Egyptian Remount Depot played a crucial role in the British military effort during the First World War. Located in Egypt, the depot was responsible for the care, feeding, and training of thousands of horses and mules that were essential for the transportation and logistical support of the British forces in the Middle East. The use of remounts allowed the cavalry to maintain mobility and flexibility in the challenging desert conditions. The 44th Squadron, part of the Imperial Yeomanry, was raised in South Africa and served with distinction in various campaigns during the war. Their uniforms, adorned with the distinctive red fez and white keffiyeh, can be seen in this photograph, reflecting the multinational composition of the British forces in Egypt. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the British Cavalry during World War I, and the challenging conditions they faced while training in Egypt. The use of mules, an important part of the logistical support system, is also evident, highlighting the versatility and adaptability of the British military during this period.
