EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the cavalry riding on Duncton Hill in August 1936. Mounted on possibly Scots Greys, these soldiers proudly don their caps and uniforms as they navigate a rural landscape. The picturesque scene unfolds along a country road flanked by hedges, with an old telegraph pole standing tall in the background. The focus of this image lies on the magnificent white horses that carry these brave men uphill under the warm sunshine. Their manes flowing gracefully in the wind, these noble creatures showcase both strength and elegance as they partake in military manoeuvres amidst the tranquil countryside. Transporting us back to a bygone era, this photograph offers a glimpse into the past when cavalry units played an essential role in warfare. It serves as a reminder of their unwavering dedication and sacrifice for their country. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this historical gem holds immense value for those interested in British military history or simply appreciating vintage photography. While its origins are rooted firmly within West Sussex County Council's archives, it transcends geographical boundaries to evoke curiosity and admiration from viewers worldwide
