EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Mark XI Trench Brass Periscope with a wooden handle, a vital piece of equipment used during the First World War. The periscope, with the catalog number 16659, is accompanied by a Pattern 1796 Heavy Cavalry Sword, carried by Capt (later Lt Col) William Tyrwhitt Drake of the Royal Horse Guards. The sword, dating back to 1806, boasts a straight, flat-backed, double-edged blade with a hatchet blade, a wooden grip bound with cord and covered with leather, and a wrought iron or steel ladder guard. The sword's affectation of remaining in bare metal without makers names or regimental inscriptions was a common practice among Household Cavalry officers. Among the three Household Cavalry regiments, there is only pictorial evidence for the Pattern 1796 being carried by the 2nd Life Guards. This image offers a unique glimpse into the military history of the early 19th century, with the sword and periscope representing the fusion of traditional cavalry weapons and the innovative technology of the time. The Mark XI Trench Periscope allowed soldiers to observe the enemy's position from the safety of their trenches, while the Heavy Cavalry Sword remained a symbol of the officer's rank and status on the battlefield. Together, these items tell a compelling story of the military equipment used during the First World War.
