Mounted Indian Lancers at Arnel with a Scottish Highlander
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating topographical print depicting an intriguing moment in military history during World War I. The image, captured by Jean-Jacques Berne-Bellecour in 1874, showcases the unique fusion of Eastern and Western military traditions as Indian Lancers and a Scottish Highlander share the same battlefield at Arnel. The Indian Lancers, a regiment of the British Indian Army, are prominently displayed in their distinctive uniforms, adorned with turban headgear and lances. Their horses, with their tails streaming in the wind, are poised and ready for action. The Indian Lancers were renowned for their courage and skill in battle, and their presence in Europe during the First World War was a testament to their versatility and adaptability. Amongst them stands a solitary Scottish Highlander, dressed in his traditional kilt and bonnet, clutching a musket. The Highlanders, a part of the British Army, were known for their fierce fighting spirit and distinctive appearance. Their inclusion in this print underscores the multicultural and multinational composition of the British military during the war. The backdrop of the print is the picturesque landscape of Arnel, a village in northern France, which was the site of several significant battles during the First World War. The print's muted colors and meticulous details bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer back in time to witness this remarkable moment in military history. Jean-Jacques Berne-Bellecour, a French photographer, captured this image in 1874, long before the outbreak of the First World War. Despite the anachronism, the print remains an evocative representation of the diverse and complex military landscape of the war, and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Indian Lancers and Scottish Highlanders in the annals of military history.
