EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the members of A Squadron 2/1 Suffolk Yeomanry during their training in September 1916. The image, taken by the esteemed Oscar Way Royal Studio in Colchester, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of these soldiers as they prepared for duty on the Western Front during World War I. The squadron, part of the Territorial Force, is seen assembled in a grassy area, likely on the grounds of their barracks or training camp. Each soldier is dressed in their full uniform, complete with helmets and rifles at the ready. Their determined expressions and focused gaze suggest the intensity of their military drills and the gravity of the situation they were about to face. The Suffolk Yeomanry, a part-time volunteer force, was formed in 1794 and had a long and proud history of service. The 2/1 designation indicates that this particular squadron was a second-line unit, formed to provide reinforcements for the first-line regiments in the event of heavy casualties. The photograph was collected by Clement Huddlestone in September 1916, further highlighting the squadron's preparations for deployment. The mounting of the print suggests that it may have been a cherished keepsake for Mr. Huddlestone or a loved one. This photograph is an invaluable historical document, offering a unique insight into the experiences of the Suffolk Yeomanry during World War I. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these soldiers and the importance of their service to their country.
