EDITORS COMMENTS
Corporal Instructing His Men," dates back to circa 1901 and depicts a corporal passionately addressing his disciplined unit. The corporal's stern expression and outstretched arm command attention, while the men, organized in ranks, listen intently. The caption beneath the image reads, "When I say to break your ranks, you have to salute individually all together... it's a mark of respect that you show me... and worse then, I return the favor by saluting you also." The caption highlights the hierarchical respect felt between the superior officer and his subordinates. It's a reminder of the formalities and traditions that were an integral part of military life during this era. The men, in unison, follow the corporal's instructions, saluting their superior as a sign of respect. In turn, the corporal returns the gesture, acknowledging the importance of the bond between them. This illustration, from the "March of the Women Collection" on Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the traditions and values that shaped military life in the early 20th century. It's a snapshot of a bygone era, where respect and discipline were paramount, and the chain of command was a two-way street. The image is not to be used for commercial purposes and is a testament to the rich history of military customs and traditions."
