EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the Royal Scots Greys riding up Duncton Hill in August 1936. The image, part of the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, offers a glimpse into a bygone era filled with military prowess and rural charm. In this picturesque countryside setting, we see a group of soldiers donning their impeccable uniforms as they navigate the undulating terrain on horseback. The lush green fields stretch out before them, framed by neatly trimmed hedges that add an air of elegance to the scene. It is evident that these brave men are engaged in some form of training or manoeuvres amidst the peaceful Downs landscape. The presence of a lorry parked nearby hints at logistical support for these mounted troops during their exercises. This juxtaposition between traditional cavalry tactics and modern transportation serves as a reminder of how warfare was evolving during this period. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, it becomes apparent that there is more than meets the eye. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies an important piece of British history - one that reflects both military strategy and rural life in the 1930s
